Abstract

A method for communicating in a wireless communications system includes generating a channel state information (CSI) process information element (IE) including a CSI process identifier, a non-zero padded CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) identifier, an interference measurement resource (IMR) identifier, and channel quality indicator (CQI) report configuration information. The method also includes transmitting the CSI process IE.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for communicating in a wireless communications system, the method comprising:
 selecting, by a network node, a channel quality indicator (CQI) report configuration from a plurality of CQI report configurations, the CQI report configuration specifying which CQIs are to be reported; and   transmitting, by the network node, a message including channel state information (CSI) process (CSI-process) information element (IE) to a user equipment (UE), the CSI-process IE including a CQI report configuration identifier (cqi-ReportConfig-Id) identifying the CQI report configuration.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the CSI-process IE further comprises a periodic CQI report configuration identifier identifying a periodic CQI report configuration. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of CQI report configurations comprises a set of parameters specifying a manner in which CQIs are reported, and each of the plurality of CQI report configurations is associated with a CQI report configuration identifier uniquely identifying a respective CQI report configuration from the plurality of CQI report configurations. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the message further comprises a CQI report configuration IE. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the CSI-process IE further comprises an aperiodic CQI report configuration identifier identifying an aperiodic CQI report configuration. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the CSI-process IE further comprises information about a single CSI process. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the CSI-process IE further comprises information about CSI processes associated with the UE. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the CSI-process IE further comprises a power offset. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving a CQI report in accordance with the CQI report configuration. 
     
     
         10 . An apparatus comprising:
 a processor; and   a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programing for execution by the processor, the programming includes instructions to a placeholder
 select a channel quality indicator (CQI) report configuration from a plurality of CQI report configurations, the CQI report configuration specifying which CQIs are to be reported; and 
 transmit a message including channel state information (CSI) process (CSI-process) information element (IE) to a user equipment (UE), the CSI-process IE including a CQI report configuration identifier (cqi-ReportConfig-Id) identifying the CQI report configuration. 
   
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the CSI-process IE further comprises a periodic CQI report configuration identifier identifying a periodic CQI report configuration. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of CQI report configurations comprises a set of parameters specifying a manner in which CQIs are reported, and each of the plurality of CQI report configurations is associated with a CQI report configuration identifier uniquely identifying a respective CQI report configuration from the plurality of CQI report configurations. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the message further comprises a CQI report configuration IE. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the CSI-process IE further comprises an aperiodic CQI report configuration identifier identifying an aperiodic CQI report configuration. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the CSI-process IE further comprises information about a single CSI process. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the CSI-process IE further comprises information about CSI processes associated with the UE. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the CSI-process IE further comprises a power offset. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , further comprising receiving a CQI report in accordance with the CQI report configuration.
