CSI-RS for AI-Based CSI Compression Data Collection

A processor configured to cause a user equipment (UE) to:

• receive, from a base station, channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration information specific to artificial intelligence based (AI-based) CSI data collection;
• receive, from the base station according to at least the CSI-RS configuration information, one or more CSI-RSs;
• perform one or more measurements on the one or more CSI-RSs;
• and
• transmit, to the base station, one or more datasets corresponding to the one or more measurements, wherein the one or more datasets are for use in performing AI modeling operations.

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• radio circuitry configured to enable wireless communications of the UE;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the radio circuitry and configured to cause the UE to:
• receive, from a base station, channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration information specific to artificial intelligence based (AI-based) CSI data collection;
• receive, from the base station according to at least the CSI-RS configuration information, one or more CSI-RSs;
• perform one or more measurements on the one or more CSI-RSs;
• and
• transmit, to the base station, one or more datasets corresponding to the one or more measurements, wherein the one or more datasets are for use in performing AI modeling operations.
