Dynamic channel state information (csi) measurement gap for bandwidth limited low complexity user equipments

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• operate within an active bandwidth part (BWP) of a component carrier, wherein the active BWP is a portion of a total bandwidth of the component carrier;
• determine a configuration for a dynamic channel state information (CSI) measurement gap, the dynamic channel state information (CSI) measurement gap including channel state information (CSI) measurement resources having a frequency domain occupation within the total bandwidth of the component carrier and outside of the active BWP;
• measure the channel state information (CSI) measurement resources included in the dynamic channel state information (CSI) measurement gap;
• and
• transmit a channel state information (CSI) report based on the measured channel state information (CSI) measurement resources.

A computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, the code when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• operate within an active bandwidth part (BWP) of a component carrier, wherein the active BWP is a portion of a total bandwidth of the component carrier;
• determine a configuration for a dynamic channel state information (CSI) measurement gap, the dynamic channel state information (CSI) measurement gap including channel state information (CSI) measurement resources having a frequency domain occupation within the total bandwidth of the component carrier and outside of the active BWP;
• measure the channel state information (CSI) measurement resources included in the dynamic channel state information (CSI) measurement gap;
• and
• transmit a channel state information (CSI) report based on the measured channel state information (CSI) measurement resources.
