Multiplexing channel state information reference signals and synchronization signals in new radio

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• cause the apparatus to sample subcarriers of a synchronization signal (SS) block based on a frequency density of channel state information (CSI) reference signals (CSI-RSs) multiplexed in a symbol period with the SS block;
• and
• perform at least one of:
• causing the apparatus to measure at least one of reference signal received power (RSRP) or CSI, based on the sampled subcarriers and the CSI-RSs, or
• causing the apparatus to report at least one of the RSRP or the CSI, based on the sampled subcarriers and the CSI-RSs;
• and
• a memory coupled with the processor.

• reporting at least one of the RSRP or the CSI, based on the sampled subcarriers and the CSI-RSs.

A computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing system, cause the processing system to perform operations comprising:

• sampling subcarriers of a synchronization signal (SS) block based on a frequency density of channel state information (CSI) reference signals (CSI-RSs) multiplexed in a symbol period with the SS block;
• and
• performing at least one of:
• measuring at least one of reference signal received power (RSRP) or CSI, based on the sampled subcarriers and the CSI-RSs, or
• reporting at least one of the RSRP or the CSI, based on the sampled subcarriers and the CSI-RSs.
