Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication systems face challenges in efficiently configuring and reporting channel state information (CSI) for terminal devices with multiple antenna elements, particularly in supporting panel-related CSI reports and managing priority and transmission power effectively.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves methods for determining priority values for CSI reports based on their association with sets of capability parameters, processing multiple CSI reports by selecting, dropping, or combining them, and allocating transmission power based on the association relationship and time-domain behavior of CSI reports.

AI summary

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an effective mechanism for processing the CSI reports. In this solution, the terminal device determines a first priority value for a first channel state information (CSI) report at least in part based on an association relationship between the first CSI report and a set of capability parameters and further transmits the CSI report to a network device based on the determined priority value. In this way, a feasibly solution for calculating priority value is achieved, which may be satisfy requirements of different scenarios.
