Channel state information (csi) processing configurations

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a base station, the instructions to configure the base station for operation in a New Radio (NR) network, and to cause the base station to perform operations comprising:

• encoding, for transmission to a user equipment (UE), configuration information for one or more channel state information (CSI) reports;
• maintaining a state of one or more CSI processors assumed at the UE, each CSI processor associated with a plurality of CSI compute resources, the state indicating occupancy of the CSI compute resources at a time instance;
• determining, for a CSI report of the one or more CSI reports, an allocation of one or more CSI compute resources of at least one CSI processor of the one or more CSI processors based on the state;
• determining a CSI processing event for the CSI report based on the state of the one or more CSI processors;
• and
• decoding content of the CSI report received from the UE based on the CSI processing event.

A user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a New Radio (5G NR) network, the UE comprising:

• front-end circuitry coupled to one or more antennas;
• and
• processing circuitry coupled to the front-end circuitry, the processing circuitry is to:
• decode configuration information for one or more channel state information (CSI) reports, the configuration information received from a base station;
• maintain a state of one or more CSI processors of the UE, each CSI processor associated with a plurality of CSI compute resources, the state indicating occupancy of the CSI compute resources at a time instance;
• allocate, for a CSI report of the one or more CSI reports, one or more CSI compute resources of at least one CSI processor of the one or more CSI processors based on the state;
• determine a CSI processing event for the CSI report based on the state of the one or more CSI processors;
• and
• encode, for transmission to the base station, content of the CSI report based on the CSI processing event.
