Reporting of measured and prediction based beam management

A method of wireless communication, comprising:

• transmitting a configuration for a channel state information (CSI) report setting, wherein a report quantity configured by the CSI report setting comprises at least:
• measured channel characteristics of channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources or synchronization signal block (SSB) resources for channel measurement associated with the CSI report setting;
• and
• parameters of predicted channel characteristics associated with the CSI-RS resources or the SSB resources for channel measurement associated with the CSI report setting;
• and
• receiving a CSI report based on the CSI report setting.

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• a memory;
• a transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver, wherein the UE is configured to:
• receive, from a base station (BS), a configuration for a channel state information (CSI) report setting, wherein a report quantity configured by the CSI report setting comprises at least:
• measured channel characteristics of channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources or synchronization signal block (SSB) resources for channel measurement associated with the CSI report setting;
• and
• parameters of predicted channel characteristics associated with the CSI-RS resources or the SSB resources for channel measurement associated with the CSI report setting;
• and
• transmit, to the BS, a CSI report based on the CSI report setting.

An apparatus for wireless communications comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit a configuration for a channel state information (CSI) report setting, wherein a report quantity configured by the CSI report setting comprises at least:
• measured channel characteristics of channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources or synchronization signal block (SSB) resources for channel measurement associated with the CSI report setting;
• and
• parameters of predicted channel characteristics associated with the CSI-RS resources or the SSB resources for channel measurement associated with the CSI report setting;
• and
• receive a CSI report based on the CSI report setting.
