Aperiodic channel state information (CSI) reporting for carrier aggregation
First Claim
1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a receiver circuit configured to receive transmissions via a plurality of serving cells according to a carrier aggregation (CA) mode and to receive an aperiodic channel state information (CSI) reporting request that indicates a set for CSI reporting, wherein the plurality of serving cells comprises more than five serving cells, wherein the more than five serving cells comprise at most thirty-two serving cells, and wherein one or more of the plurality of serving cells is associated with the indicated set;
a processor operably coupled to the receiver circuit and configured to;
calculate one or more CSI parameters for each serving cell of the plurality of serving cells that is associated with the indicated set; and
generate an aperiodic CSI report based at least in part on the calculated CSI parameters for each serving cell associated with the indicated set; and
a transmitter circuit configured to transmit the aperiodic CSI report to an Evolved NodeB (eNB) via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

Abstract
Aperiodic channel state information (CSI) reporting is discussed. An example user equipment includes a receiver circuit, processor, and transmitter circuit. The receiver circuit receives transmissions from a plurality of serving cells via a carrier aggregation (CA) mode and receives an aperiodic CSI reporting request indicating a set for CSI reporting. The plurality of serving cells comprises at least six serving cells, and one or more of the plurality is associated with the indicated set. The processor is operably coupled to the receiver circuit and calculates one or more CSI parameters for each serving cell of the plurality that is associated with the indicated set; and generates an aperiodic CSI report based at least in part on the calculated CSI parameters for each serving cell associated with the indicated set. The transmitter circuit transmits the aperiodic CSI report to an Evolved NodeB (eNB) via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

10. A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a user equipment (UE) to:
-
receive a data payload transmitted via more than five serving cells according to a carrier aggregation (CA) mode, wherein the more than five serving cells comprise at most thirty-two serving cells; receive a first value associated with a channel state information (CSI) request field, wherein the first value is associated with a first subset of the more than five serving cells; calculate at least one CSI parameter for each serving cell of the first subset; generate an aperiodic CSI report based at least in part on the at least one CSI parameter for each serving cell of the first subset; and transmit the aperiodic CSI report via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
