METHODS FOR CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION MEASUREMENT IN MOBILE COMMUNICATIONSCROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATION (S)
[0001] The present disclosure is part of a non-provisional application claiming the priority benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 654,193, filed 31 May 2024, the contents of which herein being incorporated by reference in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure is generally related to mobile communications and, more particularly, to channel state information (CSI) measurement with respect to apparatus in mobile communications.BACKGROUND
[0003] Unless otherwise indicated herein, approaches described in this section are not prior art to the claims listed below and are not admitted as prior art by inclusion in this section.
[0004] In current 5G New Radio (NR) systems, Channel State Information (CSI) may be critical for efficient link adaptation and resource allocation. Uplink (UL) CSI reporting may be typically performed based on Sounding Reference Signals (SRS) . In particular, a User Equipment (UE) may transmit SRS to a network node, and the network node may estimate a UL channel to derive relevant CSI (e.g., Rank Indicator (RI) , Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) , and Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) ) .
[0005] However, UL CSI measurement mechanisms in existing systems may encounter several limitations. For instance, the SRS resources may often be constrained, thereby limiting the number of UEs that may be scheduled for CSI reporting concurrently. Furthermore, current designs may lack flexibility in configuring UL reference signal resources across time and frequency domains, thereby reducing adaptability to varying channel conditions and network deployment scenarios.
[0006] Accordingly, how to improve the flexibility of CSI measurement becomes an important issue in the newly developed wireless communication network. Therefore, there is a need to provide proper schemes to improve the flexibility of CSI measurement.SUMMARY
[0007] The following summary is illustrative only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. That is, the following summary is provided to introduce concepts, highlights, benefits and advantages of the novel and non-obvious techniques described herein. Select implementations are further described below in the detailed description. Thus, the following summary is not intended to identify essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended for use in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
[0008] An objective of the present disclosure is to propose solutions or schemes that address the aforementioned issues pertaining to Channel State Information (CSI) measurement with respect to apparatus in mobile communications.
[0009] In one aspect, a method may involve an apparatus receiving a Downlink Control Information (DCI) from a network node. The DCI may include a first indicator. The method may further involve the apparatus transmitting at least one first uplink (UL) Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) to the network node according to the first indicator for CSI measurement. The at least one first UL DMRS may include at least one first additional DMRS other than Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) -associated DMRS.
[0010] In one aspect, a method may involve an apparatus transmitting a DCI to a UE. The DCI may include a first indicator. The method may further involve the apparatus receiving at least one first UL DMRS from the UE according to the first indicator. The at least one first UL DMRS may include at least one first additional DMRS other than PUSCH-associated DMRS. The method may further involve the apparatus determining CSI measurement based on the at least one first additional DMRS.
[0011] It is noteworthy that, although description provided herein may be in the context of certain radio access technologies, networks and network topologies such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE) , LTE-Advanced, LTE-Advanced Pro, 5th Generation (5G) , New Radio (NR) , Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) , Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) , and 6th Generation (6G) , the proposed concepts, schemes and any variation (s) / derivative (s) thereof may be implemented in, for and by other types of radio access technologies, networks and network topologies.

[0025] Detailed embodiments and implementations of the claimed subject matters are disclosed herein. However, it shall be understood that the disclosed embodiments and implementations are merely illustrative of the claimed subject matters which may be embodied in various forms. The present disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the exemplary embodiments and implementations set forth herein. Rather, these exemplary embodiments and implementations are provided so that description of the present disclosure is thorough and complete and will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. In the description below, details of well-known features and techniques may be omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the presented embodiments and implementations. Overview
[0026] Implementations in accordance with the present disclosure relate to various techniques, methods, schemes and / or solutions pertaining to CSI measurement with respect to apparatus in mobile communications. According to the present disclosure, a number of possible solutions may be implemented separately or jointly. That is, although these possible solutions may be described below separately, two or more of these possible solutions may be implemented in one combination or another.
[0027] Regarding the present disclosure, a network node may transmit a Downlink Control Information (DCI) to a user equipment (UE) . The DCI may include a first indicator. The first indicator may be used to trigger the UE to transmit reference signal (s) for Channel State Information (CSI) measurement (e.g., uplink (UL) CSI measurement or downlink (DL) CSI measurement) . In some scenarios, the reference signal (s) may include Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) , SRS-antenna switching (SRS-AS) , or UL Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) . In these scenarios, the UL DMRS may include at least one first additional DMRS other than Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) -associated DMRS. In other words, the UL DMRS may include the at least one first additional DMRS which are independent of any PUSCH transmission.
[0028] Then, the UE may receive the DCI from the network node and transmit the reference signal (s) to the network node according to the first indicator. After receiving the reference signal (s) from the UE, the network node may determine CSI measurement based on the reference signal (s) . Therefore, using different reference signal (s) (e.g., SRS, SRS-AS, additional DMRS configured independently of PUSCH transmission, etc. ) for CSI measurement may significantly improve the flexibility of CSI measurement.
[0029] FIG. 1 illustrates an example scenario 100 under schemes in accordance with implementations of the present disclosure. Scenario 100 involves a network side and one or more UEs, which may be a part of a wireless communication network (e.g., an LTE network, a 5G / NR network, an IoT network or a 6G network) . Scenario 100 illustrates the current network framework. The UEs may connect to the network side. The network side may comprise one or more than one network nodes. For illustrative purposes, one network node and one UE may be described hereinafter. However, it is not intended to limit the network scenarios of the present disclosure.
[0030] In some embodiments, the network node may transmit a DCI to the UE. The DCI may include a first indicator. The first indicator may be used to trigger the UE to transmit reference signal (s) for CSI measurement. The reference signal (s) may include UL DMRS (s) . The UL DMRS (s) may include first additional DMRS (s) other than PUSCH-associated DMRS. In other words, the UL DMRS (s) may include the first additional DMRS (s) which are independent of any PUSCH transmission. The DMRS (s) here may include multiple DMRS resource (s) or DMRS port (s) . The network node may provide an indication to indicate which port (s) are associated with PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and / or additional DMRS (s) .
[0031] Then, the UE may transmit the UL DMRS (s) to the network node for CSI measurement. After receiving the UL DMRS (s) , the network node may determine CSI measurement according to the UL DMRS (s) . In these embodiments, since the UL DMRS may include the first additional DMRS (s) that are independent of any PUSCH transmission, the network node may obtain enhanced Channel State Information (CSI) from the first additional DMRS (s) , in addition to the CSI derived from the PUSCH-associated DMRS.
[0032] In some implementations, the UL DMRS (s) may include both PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) scheduled by the DCI and the first additional UL DMRS (s) . In these implementations, the DCI may include a second indicator to indicate DMRS port (s) for the first additional DMRS (s) . More specifically, the DCI may include the second indicator to indicate which DMRS ports may be used for the first additional UL DMRS (s) . In these implementations, a total port number of the UL DMRS (s) (including both the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and the first additional UL DMRS (s) ) scheduled by the DCI may be larger than a number of PUSCH layers. The network node may configure the UE to transmit more DMRS ports for the network node to acquire more CSI.
[0033] FIG. 2 illustrates an example scenario 200 under schemes in accordance with implementations of the present disclosure. For example, the network node configures the UE to use DMRS ports 0 and 1 for PUSCH-associated DMRS for two-layer PUSCH. The network node transmits the DCI including the second indicator to indicate DMRS ports 2 and 3 for the first additional DMRS (s) .
[0034] In some cases, the network node may transmit a DMRS resource configuration (e.g., by Radio Resource Configuration (RRC) ) to the UE. The DMRS resource configuration may be used for UL DMRS (s) . The DMRS resource configuration may include at least one field of: identification (ID) , port information, time and / or frequency domain resource information, spatial relation information, and Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state indicator.
[0035] In some cases, the port information may be implemented in a format of 'dmrs-Ports' , such as a bitmap indicating one or more selected DMRS ports for transmission.
[0036] In some cases, the network node may transmit a pre-defined table (e.g., by Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) ) to the UE. The network may indicate port information to the UE by DCI based on the pre-defined table. For example, the pre-defined table includes a plurality of codepoints, each associated with corresponding port (s) for additional DMRS (s) corresponding to the codepoints as shown in the below table. In this example, the network node transmits the DCI including the second indicator which indicate codepoint ‘0’ to the UE. The UE uses ports {0, 1} corresponding to codepoint ‘0’ for additional DMRS (s) transmission based on the pre-defined table.
[0037] In some implementations, in an event that the UL DMRS (s) includes the first additional UL DMRS (s) , the DCI may include a third indicator to indicate at least one DMRS resource allocation for the first additional DMRS (s) . More specifically, the DCI may include the third indicator to indicate which DMRS resource allocation (s) (e.g., frequency domain resource allocation and / or time domain resource allocation) is used for the first additional UL DMRS (s) .
[0038] FIG. 3 illustrates an example scenario 300 under schemes in accordance with implementations of the present disclosure. For example, the network node configures the UE to use DMRS ports 0 and 1 for PUSCH-associated DMRS transmission for two-layer PUSCH within a first frequency range. The network node transmits the DCI including the third indicator to indicate that the first additional DMRS (s) is to be transmitted within a second frequency range.
[0039] In some cases, the frequency domain resource allocation and / or the time domain resource allocation may follow co-scheduled PUSCH resource allocation in an event that the DCI is a UL grant DCI, or follow co-scheduled PDSCH in an event that the DCI is a DL DCI.
[0040] In some cases, a list of DMRS resources may be pre-configured by RRC to indicate the frequency domain resource allocation and / or the time domain resource allocation. Further, for improving flexibility, a codepoint table of DMRS resource sets may be further configured by MAC CE. The network node may indicate DMRS resource set (s) for the UL DMRS by the third indicator including a codepoint corresponding to the codepoint table. For example, the codepoint table includes a plurality of codepoints, each associated with a corresponding DMRS resource set for additional UL DMRS, as illustrated in the table below: In this example, the network node transmits the DCI including the third indicator which indicate codepoint ‘2’ to the UE. The UE uses DMRS resource configuration having ID 3 corresponding to codepoint ‘2’ for additional DMRS (s) transmission based on the codepoint table.
[0041] In some cases, the frequency domain resource allocation may be indicated by an additional “Frequency domain resource assignment” , and the time domain resource allocation may be indicated by an additional “Time domain resource assignment” or “beta_offset Indicator” in the DCI, which may be similar to resource allocations for PUSCH, PDSCH or SRS.
[0042] In some cases, the UL DMRS (s) including the first additional UL DMRS (s) may be transmitted independently (i.e., the first additional UL DMRS (s) is transmitted without data) or along with PUSCH (i.e., the first additional UL DMRS (s) is transmitted with data) . In an event that the first additional UL DMRS (s) is transmitted without data (i.e., without PUSCH transmission) , the DCI may include a fourth indicator to indicate that the first additional DMRS (s) is transmitted without data. In other words, the fourth indicator of the DCI may indicate that there is no PUSCH transmission, and only the first additional DMRS (s) needs to be transmitted.
[0043] In some implementations, in an event that the UL DMRS (s) includes both PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and the first additional UL DMRS (s) , the network node may indicate the UE to transmit the UL DMRS (s) with different UL precoders for measuring UL CSI based DMRS. In particular, the DCI may include: (1) a first Transmission Precoding Matrix Indicator (TPMI) for both the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and the first additional DMRS (s) ; or (2) a second TPMI for the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and a third TPMI for the first additional DMRS (s) .
[0044] More specifically, the network node may measure effective channel (i.e., effective channel matrix) on DMRS ports, where H may be the channel (i.e., channel matrix) , [PpuschPadd] may be a precoder (i.e., precoding vectors) applied on the UL DMRS including PUSCH-associated DMRS and first additional DMRS, Ppusch may be a precoder for PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) , Padd may be a precoder for the first additional DMRS (s) , Nr may be the number of receive antennas at network node side, Lpusch may be the number of PUSCH transmission layers, and Ladd may be the number of additional DMRS transmission layers.
[0045] FIG. 4A illustrates an example scenario 400A under schemes in accordance with implementations of the present disclosure. In some cases, the DCI may include the first TPMI for both the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and the first additional DMRS (s) . DMRS ports 0 and 1 are used for PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) . DMRS ports 2 and 3 are used for the first additional DMRS (s) . In particular, the first TPMI may indicate the precoder [PpuschPadd] . In these cases, the network node may use rank field in DCI to indicate a number of PUSCH layers or additional DMRS ports. More specifically, the rank field may be used to distinguish Ppusch and Padd.
[0046] FIG. 4B illustrates an example scenario 400B under schemes in accordance with implementations of the present disclosure. In some cases, the DCI may include the second TPMI for the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and the third TPMI for the first additional DMRS (s) . DMRS ports 0 and 1 are used for PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) . DMRS ports 2 and 3 are used for the first additional DMRS (s) . In particular, the second TPMI may indicate the precoder Ppusch, and the third TPMI may indicate the precoder Padd.
[0047] In some cases, in an event that there is no TPMI for the precoder Padd, the UL DMRS (s) may be non-precoded (i.e., Padd=I) .
[0048] In some implementations, the network node may select better DMRS ports by evaluating the effective channel Heff vectors based on a previous UL CSI measurement. Then the network node may determine a new precoder Pnew for the next PUSCH transmission.
[0049] FIG. 5 illustrates an example scenario 500 under schemes in accordance with implementations of the present disclosure. More specifically, the network node may transmit the DCI to the UE to trigger a PUSCH (including PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) ) and first additional DMRS (s) transmissions for UL CSI measurement. The DCI may include TPMI (s) (e.g., (1) the first TPMI for both the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and the first additional DMRS (s) , or (2) the second TPMI for the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and the third TPMI for the first additional DMRS (s) ) to indicate the precoder [PpuschPadd] on the PUSCH and the first additional DMRS (s) . In other words, the precoder [PpuschPadd] may be associated with: (1) the first TPMI for both the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and the first additional DMRS (s) , or (2) the second TPMI for the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and the third TPMI for the first additional DMRS (s) . The UE receives the TPMI (s) (i.e., (1) the first TPMI, or (2) the second and third TPMIs) indicating the precoder [PpuschPadd] so that Pt1 (i.e., the precoder determined at timing t1) is [PpuschPadd] .
[0050] Then, the UE may transmit the PUSCH (including the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) ) and the first additional DMRS (s) to the network node based on the precoder [PpuschPadd] . More specifically, the UE may transmit the PUSCH (including the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) ) based on the precoder Ppusch. The UE may transmit the first additional DMRS (s) based on the precoder Padd.
[0051] After receiving the PUSCH (including the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) ) and the first additional DMRS (s) , the network node may measures the effective channel Heff=H· [PpuschPadd] from UL DMRS (s) (including the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) and the first additional DMRS (s) ) . Based on the UL DMRS CSI measurement, the network node may determine a new precoder Pnew by multiplying the precoder [PpuschPadd] by an additional matrix W, i.e., Pnew= [PpuschPadd] ·W.
[0052] Then, the network node may transmit another DCI to trigger a next PUSCH. The another DCI may include one or more TPMIs to indicate the precoder Pnew= [PpuschPadd] ·W. For example, the network node may indicate the precoder [PpuschPadd] based on the previous operations. In addition, the network node may transmit a fourth TPMI (e.g., by the another DCI) to the UE to indicate the additional matrix W for multiplying to the precoder [PpuschPadd] . The UE receives the TPMI (s) indicating the precoder [PpuschPadd] and the fourth TPMI indicating the additional matrix W so that Pt2 (i.e., the precoder determined at timing t2) is [PpuschPadd] ·W. Then, the UE may transmit the PUSCH (including the PUSCH-associated DMRS (s) ) and the first additional DMRS (s) to the network node based on the updated precoder [PpuschPadd] ·W.
[0053] FIG. 6A illustrates an example scenario 600A under schemes in accordance with implementations of the present disclosure. In some cases, the additional matrix W may be a port selection matrix to select the better columns of the precoder [PpuschPadd] . For example, Ppusch includes vector p0 and p1. Padd includes vector p2 and p3. The additional matrix W is a port selection matrix as shown in FIG. 6A for selecting p1 and p3 in the new precoder Pnew.
[0054] FIG. 6B illustrates an example scenario 600B under schemes in accordance with implementations of the present disclosure. In some cases, the additional matrix W may be a coefficient matrix to linearly combine the columns of the precoder [PpuschPadd] . For example, Ppusch includes vector p0 and p1. Padd includes vector p2 and p3. The additional matrix W is a coefficient matrix as shown in FIG. 6B for weighting p0 to p3 in the new precoder Pnew. In some cases, rank (i.e., PUSCH layer) information may be implicitly included in the additional matrix
[0055] In some cases, the DCI may include: (1) the second TPMI for a serving cell, (2) the third TPMI for a neighbor cell and (3) an interference mitigation indicator. The interference mitigation indicator may indicate interference mitigated precoding. For example, the interference mitigated precoding includes zero forcing (ZF) precoding on the precoder [PpuschPadd] associated with both the second TPMI and the third TPMI, or (2) block diagonal precoding on the precoder [PpuschPadd] .
[0056] More specifically, the second TPMI may be the main precoder for the PUSCH, and interference avoid precoding may try to reduce interference between the two precoders Ppusch and Padd for PUSCH by the interference mitigated precoding (e.g., ZF precoding or block diagonal precoding) .
[0057] It should be noted that ZF precoding may be a linear precoding technique that inverts the channel matrix to eliminate inter-user interference in some network systems (e.g., multi-user Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems) . By projecting signals orthogonally to other users’ channels, it achieves interference cancellation. Block diagonal precoding may be used in some network systems (e.g., multi-user MIMO systems) to precode signals such that inter-user interference is canceled by designing a block-diagonal precoding matrix. Each block corresponds to a user and is orthogonal to others’ channels, allowing simultaneous transmission without interference while maintaining spatial multiplexing across user groups.
[0058] In some cases, for transmission and reception point selection, the main precoder for PUSCH may follow a field of transmission and reception point (TRP) selection in a DCI or MAC CE to select the second or third TPMI. More specifically, the network node may transmit a DCI or a MAC CE including an indicator indicating TRP selection. The indicator may be used to select the second TPMI or the third TPMI. The UE may determine a main precoder for the PUSCH transmission based on the selected TPMI. The selected TPMI may correspond to either a serving transmission point or an interference avoidance transmission point. The main precoder for the PUSCH transmission may be determined based on the TPMI indicated in the TRP selection indicator.
[0059] In some cases, two SRS Resource Indicators (SRIs) may use the same operations to perform interference avoid. In some cases, one SRI and one TPMI may use the same operations to perform interference avoid.
[0060] In some implementations, reciprocity in wireless communication may represent that the UL and DL channels may be similar (especially in TDD systems) . This may allow the network node to estimate DL channel conditions using UL Reference Signals (RSs) (e.g., UL DMRS or SRS) , reducing feedback overhead and enabling efficient precoding for DL transmission.
[0061] Accordingly, in an event that the UE supports reciprocity and the first additional DMRS (s) is associated with (or Quasi-Colocated (QCLed) to) a DL RS (e.g., DL DMRS, CSI-RS, etc. ) , the UE may determine precoder (s) for the UL DMRS (s) without TPMI information. In particular, the UE may determine a UL precoder based on measuring the DL RS. Then, the UE may determine a UL precoder based on that the UE supports reciprocity. For example, the UL channel is ideally the Hermitian transpose of the DL channel, assuming radio frequency (RF) chain calibration is performed.
[0062] In some cases, the DL RS may be listed in the spatial relation information of the DMRS resource configuration, and the DCI may include an additional indicator to dynamically indicate the UE to measure the DL RS. For example, the spatial relation information of the DMRS resource configuration lists DL DMRS and CSI-RS. The DCI includes the additional indicator to dynamically indicate the UE to measure the DL DMRS or CSI-RS.
[0063] In some cases, the network node may transmit another DCI to the UE. The another DCI may include at least one fifth indicator to indicate timing and ordering information for a used UL DMRS and precoding. After receiving the another DCI, the UE may be triggered to use the used UL DMRS and precoding by the at least one fifth indicator.
[0064] In some cases, a DCI may include: (1) an indicator “DMRS request” to indicate (or trigger) the additional DMRS transmission and the used DMRS resource, and (2) an indicator “DMRS ordering index” to index precoder information for the additional DMRS transmission. The UE may be triggered to use the same precoder for next UL transmission by another DCI with the index.
[0065] For example, in Time Transmission Interval#0 (TTI#0) , a DCI includes: (1) “DMRS request=10” to trigger additional DMRS transmission by {DMRS-Resource Set ID3} associated with or QCLed to a DL CSI-RS (or a DL DMRS) , and (2) “DMRS ordering index = 00” to index the order information of the additional DMRS resource. The DCI includes a TPMI to indicate a precoder for the scheduled PDSCH and additional DMRS.
[0066] In TTI#2, a DCI includes: (1) “DMRS request = 10” to trigger additional DMRS transmission by {DMRS-Resource Set ID3} associated with or QCLed to a DL CSI-RS / DL DMR, and (2) “DMRS ordering index = 01” to index the order information of the additional DMRS resource.
[0067] In TTI#5, a DCI includes: (1) “DMRS resource indicator = 01” to indicate the UE to use the precoder of the additional DMRS transmission with “DMRS ordering index = 01” in TTI#2., and (2) include “DMRS ordering index = 01” to index the order information of the DMRS resource..
[0068] In this example, the UE records the last DCIs with the index and an acknowledgement (ACK) feedback and skips the DCIs without ACK feedback.
[0069] In some implementations, different UL DMRSs may be used for SRS-AS-like DL CSI measurement. In particular, the UE may transmit: (1) the first UL DMRS (s) to the network node, and (2) a second UL DMRS (s) to the network node according to the first indicator for SRS-AS usage. The second UL DMRS (s) may include a second additional DMRS (s) other than PUSCH-associated DMRS. For SRS-AS usage, a DMRS could include at least two DMRS symbols and the UE could use different antennas to do UL DMRS transmission on different DMRS symbols.
[0070] More specifically, the UE may be configured multi-symbol UL DMRS or two UL DMRS resources in a DMRS set. The UE may be triggered to perform 2T4R (i.e., two transmitting antennas at UE side and four receiving antennas at network node side) antenna switching by the DCI, in which the first 2T may be transmitted on the first symbol / DMRS resource and the second 2T may be transmitted on the second symbol / DMRS resource. It should be noted that 1T4, / 1T8R, 2T8, etc. may be processed in a similar operation.
[0071] FIG. 7 illustrates an example scenario 700 under schemes in accordance with implementations of the present disclosure. For example, the UE is configured two symbols in a DMRS set. The DCI triggers the UE to perform 2T4R antenna switching by configuring two UL DMRS transmissions. The pair of transmitting antennas (i.e., 2T) of the UE is configured as: (1) a first 2T to transmit a first DMRS on a first symbol or DMRS resource, and (2) a second 2T to transmit a second DMRS on a second symbol, thereby enabling 4R-based spatial channel estimation at the network node.
[0072] In some cases, a precoding method for the different UL DMRSs for SRS-AS-like DL CSI measurement may use the previously mentioned precoding operations for UL DMRS for UL CSI measurement. In some cases, a DMRS resource allocation (s) (e.g., frequency domain resource allocation and / or time domain resource allocation) for the different UL DMRSs for SRS-AS-like DL CSI measurement may use the previously mentioned DMRS resource allocation (s) for UL DMRS for UL CSI measurement.
[0073] In some implementations, the DMRS resource configuration, which may be configured by higher-layer signaling (e.g., RRC) , may provide the UE with information such as ID, port information, time / frequency domain resource allocation, spatial relation information, and TCI state.

Hence, any two components herein combined to achieve a particular functionality can be seen as "associated with" each other such that the desired functionality is achieved, irrespective of architectures or intermedial components. Likewise, any two components so associated can also be viewed as being "operably connected" , or "operably coupled" , to each other to achieve the desired functionality, and any two components capable of being so associated can also be viewed as being "operably couplable" , to each other to achieve the desired functionality. Specific examples of operably couplable include but are not limited to physically mateable and / or physically interacting components and / or wirelessly interactable and / or wirelessly interacting components and / or logically interacting and / or logically interactable components.

In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should be interpreted to mean at least the recited number, e.g., the bare recitation of "two recitations, " without other modifiers, means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations. Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc. ” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention, e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and / or A, B, and C together, etc. In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc. ” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention, e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and / or A, B, and C together, etc. It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and / or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms.
