User equipment for channel state information (CSI) reporting for TRP operation

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a transceiver configured to connect to a base station;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from the base station, at least one channel state information (CSI) report configuration, wherein each CSI report configuration includes at least one reference resource set configuration, wherein each reference resource set configuration includes multiple CSI-reference signal (RS) resources, wherein a first portion of the multiple CSI-RS resources are configured for a single transmission and reception point (TRP) mode and a second portion of the multiple CSI-RS resources are for configured for a multiple TRP (multi-TRP) mode;
• and
• sending, to the base station, a CSI report comprising at least a CSI reference signal indication (CRI) indicating whether the UE prefers the single TRP mode or the multi-TRP mode.
