Network-based selection of a channel state information (csi) configuration

An apparatus comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• process configuration information received from a network and indicating a plurality of channel state information (CSI) configurations, the plurality of CSI configurations including a CSI Type I configuration and a CSI Type II configuration;
• process an indication received from the network about a CSI configuration to use for CSI reporting, the CSI configuration selected by the network from the plurality of CSI configurations;
• generate a CSI report based on the CSI configuration;
• and
• cause the CSI report to be sent to the network.

A base station comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, configure the base station to:
• send, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information indicating aperiodic CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration and a plurality of channel state information (CSI) configurations for aperiodic CSI reporting, the plurality of CSI configurations including a CSI Type I configuration and a CSI Type II configuration;
• determine, from the plurality of CSI configurations, a CSI configuration to use for the aperiodic CSI reporting;
• send an indication about using the CSI configuration;
• and
• receive, from the UE based on the indication, a CSI report, the CSI report generated based on the CSI configuration.
