Channel state and beam related information reporting

An apparatus of a next generation Node B (gNB) or an enhanced Node B (eNB) comprising:

• an interface;
• and
• processing circuitry, coupled to the interface and configured to:
• encode an indication including a request for uplink control information (UCI) to user equipment (UE), the UCI including hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback and other UCI data including at least one of a channel state information (CSI) report, a beam state information (BSI) report, a beam refinement information (BRI) report, and the request indicating one or more UL resources to be used for the UCI;
• and
• extract at least a portion of the requested UCI from the one or more UL resources received from the UE.

A computer readable storage medium including program instructions that, when executed by a processor of a UE configure the processor to:

• decode a trigger requesting UCI elements including at least one of hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback, a scheduling request (SR), a channel state information (CSI) report and a beam related information report, the trigger including an indication of one or more UL resources to be used to send the requested UCI elements, the one or more UL resources including at least one of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);
• generate the requested UCI elements;
• and
• encode the generated UCI elements for transmission via the indicated one or more UL resources.
