Time domain beam prediction using channel state information reporting

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network node, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• receive, from a user equipment (UE), a periodic or semi-persistent (P/SP) channel state information (CSI) report that indicates a layer 1 (L1) reference signal received power (RSRP) or signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) (L1-RSRP/SINR) measurement for each of a set of channel measurement resources (CMRs);
• transmit, to the UE, a request for an aperiodic (AP) CSI report;
• and
• receive, from the UE, the AP CSI report based at least in part on the request, wherein the AP CSI report indicates L1-RSRP/SINR measurements of K CMRs, wherein the K CMRs are separate from the set of CMRs associated with the P/SP CSI report, and wherein a time domain beam prediction is based at least in part on the AP CSI report.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• receive, from a network node, a channel state information (CSI) report configuration;
• and
• transmit, to the network node and based at least in part on the CSI report configuration, a CSI report that indicates:
• an explicit layer 1 (L1) reference signal received power (RSRP) or signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) (L1-RSRP/SINR) measurement for each of K channel measurement resources (CMRs), wherein the K CMRs are configured by a CSI resource setting associated with the CSI report;
• and
• a quantized CMR-common L1-RSRP/SINR measurement associated with multiple K1 CMRs, wherein the K1 CMRs are different than the K CMRs,
• wherein a time domain beam prediction is based at least in part on the CSI report.
