Abstract
A wireless device may support a plurality of channel state information (CSI) processes. The wireless device may send an indication of a number of supported CSI processes to a first base station. The first base station may send to the wireless device a handover command, instructing the wireless device to handover to a second base station. The handover command may comprise configuration parameters for CSI processes associated with the second base station. The configuration parameters may be based on the number of CSI processes supported by the wireless device.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first node from a wireless device, a first message indicating that the wireless device supports configuration of a first quantity of channel state information (CSI) reports for a plurality of resource blocks;
- transmitting, by the first node to the wireless device, at least one second message comprising configuration parameters for a second quantity of CSI reports for the plurality of resource blocks, wherein the second quantity is less than or equal to the first quantity;
- and
- transmitting, by the first node to a second node and based on a determination to perform a handover for the wireless device, at least one third message indicating that the wireless device supports the configuration for the first quantity of CSI reports.
A first node comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first node to:
- receive, from a wireless device, a first message indicating that the wireless device supports configuration of a first quantity of channel state information (CSI) reports for a plurality of resource blocks;
- transmit, to the wireless device, at least one second message comprising configuration parameters for a second quantity of CSI reports for the plurality of resource blocks, wherein the second quantity is less than or equal to the first quantity;
- and
- transmit, to a second node and based on a determination to perform a handover for the wireless device, at least one third message indicating that the wireless device supports the configuration for the first quantity of CSI reports.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, configure a first node to:
- receive, from a wireless device, a first message indicating that the wireless device supports configuration of a first quantity of channel state information (CSI) reports for a plurality of resource blocks;
- transmit, to the wireless device, at least one second message comprising configuration parameters for a second quantity of CSI reports for the plurality of resource blocks, wherein the second quantity is less than or equal to the first quantity;
- and
- transmit, to a second node and based on a determination to perform a handover for the wireless device, at least one third message indicating that the wireless device supports the configuration for the first quantity of CSI reports.
A system comprising:
- a first node;
- and
- a second node;
- wherein the first node comprises:
- one or more first processors;
- and
- first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the first node to:
- receive, from a wireless device, a first message indicating that the wireless device supports configuration of a first quantity of channel state information (CSI) reports for a plurality of resource blocks;
- transmit, to the wireless device, at least one second message comprising configuration parameters for a second quantity of CSI reports for the plurality of resource blocks, wherein the second quantity is less than or equal to the first quantity;
- and
- transmit, to a second node and based on a determination to perform a handover for the wireless device, at least one third message indicating that the wireless device supports the configuration for the first quantity of CSI reports;
- and
- wherein the second node comprises:
- one or more second processors;
- and
- second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the second node to receive the at least one third message.
