Abstract
Various aspects of the disclosure relate to techniques associated with the acquisition of reference signals. In some aspects, a network may request a user equipment (UE) to measure a timing difference between neighbor cells and use that information to generate a CSI-RS configuration. The network sends the CSI-RS configuration to the UE to enable the UE to acquire a CSI-RS from a neighbor cell. In some aspects, a network may send timing-related information to a neighbor cell and the neighbor cell uses that information to transmit a CSI-RS.
Claims32
A method of communication for an apparatus, comprising:
- identifying a cell that provides timing for a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);
- and
- sending an indication of the identified cell to a user equipment (UE).
An apparatus for communication comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a processing circuit coupled to the memory device and configured to:
- identify a cell that provides timing for a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);
- and
- send an indication of the identified cell to a user equipment (UE).
16-30. (canceled)
A method of communication for an apparatus, comprising:
- receiving an indication of a cell that provides timing for receiving a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) at a user equipment (UE);
- and
- receiving the CSI-RS.
