The apparatus may be a UE. The UE measures, at a first time point, a first set of reference signals to determine a first set of values corresponding to a set of CSI parameters. The UE determines value differences between the first set of values and a set of reference values corresponding to the set of CSI parameters. The UE sends a first CSI report including variation indicators indicating the value differences. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising: measuring, at a first time point, a first set of reference signals to determine a first set of values of a non-differential channel state information (CSI) report, the first set of values corresponding to a set of CSI parameters; determining value differences between the first set of values and a set of reference values corresponding to the set of CSI parameters, wherein the set of reference values are generated by a prediction model for the first time point based on one or more sets of prior values, corresponding to the set of CSI parameters, for one or more time points prior to the first time point; and sending a first differential CSI report including variation indicators indicating the value differences, for reconstructing the first set of values of the non-differential CSI report by the base station based on the value differences and the set of reference values generated by a prediction model at the base station, without reporting the first set of values. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the set of CSI parameters contains CSI components corresponding a predefined codebook type. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the prediction model generates the set of reference values by performing linear combination on the one or more sets of prior values. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: informing the prediction model to network. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: measuring, at a second time point prior to the first time point, a second set of reference signals to determine a second set of values corresponding to the set of CSI parameters, wherein the one or more sets of prior values include the second set of values. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: generating, based on the prediction model, a second set of values for a second time point prior to the first time point, wherein one set of the prior values is derived from the second set of values. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: measuring, at a second time point prior to the first time point, a second set of reference signals to determine, based on a codebook, a second set of values corresponding to the set of CSI parameters, wherein the set of reference values are the second set of values. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising: sending a second CSI report including indicators indicating the second set of values. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, through a control channel, an indication indicating that the value differences are expected to be sent, wherein the first differential CSI report are sent in response to receiving that indication. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving an acknowledgement that the first differential CSI report has been correctly received at a base station. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: sending an indication indicating that the value differences are included in the first differential CSI report. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: sending an indication indicating an identity of a reference CSI report that has been sent. ### Claim 13 An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a user equipment (UE), comprising: a memory;
