Sparsity assisted channel state information (CSI) reporting or two-step CSI reporting is enabled or disabled for a user equipment. The configuration enabling/disabling sparsity assisted truncation for CSI reporting or two-step CSI reporting includes a domain for transformation of CSI for the sparsity assisted CSI reporting, and a time window for correlated channel. When the configuration enables sparsity assisted truncation for CSI reporting, a fixed number of non-zero coefficients and one or more threshold values for delay/angle or doppler for truncation are configured. When sparsity assisted truncation for CSI reporting is enabled, received the CSI reference signals are measured based on the configuration and a CSI report is transmitted indicating a specific range for which truncation occurred. When two-step CSI reporting is enabled, CSI compression corresponding to the at least one configuration and the time window is performed and CSI feedback is transmitted along with a flag.

Methods and apparatuses for network operation adaptation in a spatial domain in a wireless communication system. A method for a user equipment (UE) to report channel state information (CSI) includes receiving: first information related to reception of CSI reference signals (CSI-RSs) on a cell, second information related to determining a first number of CSI reports respectively associated with a first number of operation states on the cell, third information related to triggering a second number CSI reports respectively associated with a second number of operation states from the first number of operation states, and the CSI-RSs based on the first information. An operation state is associated with a configuration for active antenna ports, antenna panels, or transmission reception points. The method further includes determining, based on the second information and the CSI-RSs, the second number of CSI reports and transmitting a channel with the second number of CSI reports.

CSI report for spatial domain network adaptation

Timing adjustments or frequency offsets that at least partially compensate for Doppler shift (e.g., due to distance of a satellite transmitter or relative speed of a terrestrial receiver) of a signal, physical channel, or resource during wireless transmission are configured. The characteristics compensated comprise one of resource element (RE) mapping, channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration, bandwidth part (BWP) configuration, or control resource set (CORESET) configuration. Information indicating the multiple configurations is transmitted from a base station (BS) to at least one user equipment (UE). The timing adjustments or frequency offsets are specifically configured for one UE, a group of UEs, or the UEs served by a single serving cell. Joint transmission from multiple cells/TRPs/spotbeams may involve partial/full subcarrier alignment.

Machine learning (ML) adaptation of any one of reference signal (RS) temporal density, RS frequency density, RS spatial density, or number of transmission/reception points (TRPs) that transmit RS provides configuration of lower RS densities or fewer TRPs that transmit RS without significant loss of throughput in appropriate circumstances. Determinations to switch from high density transmission to low density transmission, to reduce the number of antenna ports or TRPs that transmit RS, or to fallback to high density transmission may be made by the ML model, optionally with UE assistance information.

A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode control information of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) received via a resource within a control resource set (CORESET) occupying a subset of a plurality of OFDM symbols within a slot. At least one of the symbols in the subset coincides with a pre-defined symbol location associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) of a PDSCII. The DM-RS can be detected within the slot, the DM-RS starting at a symbol location that is shifted from the pre-defined symbol location and following the subset of symbols. Downlink data scheduled by the PDCCH and received via the PDSCH can be decoded, where the decoding is based on the detected DM-RS.

Configuration information from the base station indicates one or more of enabling or disabling of machine learning adaptation of the reference signal pattern, a machine learning model used for machine learning adaptation of the reference signal pattern, updated model parameters for the machine learning model, or whether model parameters received from the user equipment will be used for machine learning adaptation of the reference signal pattern. Model training may be performed or model parameters received, and reference signals are received from the base station. Information on a reference signal pattern may be transmitted by the user equipment to the serving base station. Assistance information may be transmitted by the user equipment to the base station, which configures a reference signal pattern.

A single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence corresponding to the DM-RS AP is generated using a base sequence and the cyclic shift value. The single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence is encoded with uplink data for transmission to a base station using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using a carrier above the 52.6 GHz carrier frequency.
