Interference-aware beam reporting in wireless communications

A wireless communication apparatus, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the processor reads code from the memory and implements a method comprising:

• receive a reporting configuration, wherein the reporting configuration is associated with a channel measurement resource (CMR) group and an interference measurement resource (IMR) group, wherein each IMR in the IMR group is associated with different spatial domain filters;
• and
• transmit a report,
• wherein the report includes a channel state information (CSI) value that describes signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), wherein the CSI value is determined by channel measurement performed on a CMR in a CMR group, and
• wherein the report includes one or more identifiers associated with one or more CMRs from the CMR group.

A non-transitory computer readable program storage medium having code stored thereon, the code, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method, comprising:

• receiving, by a communication node, a reporting configuration, wherein the reporting configuration is associated with a channel measurement resource (CMR) group and an interference measurement resource (IMR) group, wherein each IMR in the one IMR group is associated with different spatial domain filters;
• and
• transmitting, by the communication node, a report,
• wherein the report includes a channel state information (CSI) value that describes signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), wherein the CSI value is determined by performing channel measurement on a CMR in a CMR group, and
• wherein the report includes one or more identifiers associated with one or more CMRs from the CMR group.
