If semi-persistent CSI transmission is activated without proper timing alignment, then CSI transmission can begin, but timing misalignment causes interference and resource conflicts
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary timing alignment by establishing a reference point (first uplink transmission) before activating semi-persistent CSI transmission. The network device calculates the offset value based on this reference, ensuring that CSI transmissions are pre-synchronized to avoid uplink interference before they actually occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The network device provides feedback to the terminal device through RRC signaling, conveying the calculated offset value that aligns CSI transmission timing with available uplink resources. This feedback mechanism ensures the terminal device transmits CSI at precisely timed intervals that avoid conflicts with other uplink transmissions.
2Reliability
If offset value is calculated based on first uplink transmission, then CSI timing can be aligned, but additional signaling overhead is introduced
Solution Approach 1:
The network device leverages existing uplink transmission timing information that is already available in the system to calculate the offset value. Instead of introducing entirely new signaling mechanisms, the system reuses existing timing references (first uplink transmission) to derive the synchronization offset, minimizing additional complexity.
3Reliability
If first uplink transmission is used as reference, then timing alignment is achieved, but random access latency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs the necessary timing alignment calculations and offset determinations in advance, during the random access procedure itself, rather than requiring separate synchronization steps. By establishing the reference uplink transmission and calculating offsets before semi-persistent CSI transmission begins, the system prepares timing parameters preliminarily to enable immediate accurate transmission.
Data Source
AI summary
A wireless device receives one or more radio resource control messages. The one or more radio resource control messages comprise configuration parameters of semi-persistent channel state information (CSI) reports for transmission via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of a first cell in a timing advance group. A downlink control information (DCI) indicating activation of semi-persistent CSI is received via PUSCH resources of the PUSCH of the first cell. In response to a time alignment timer of the timing advance group expiring, first PUSCH resources of the PUSCH resources are cleared. The first PUSCH resources occur after the time alignment timer expires.
