  • Patent number: 11445451
    Abstract: Provided are a method and a device for reporting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system. A wireless device receives a first uplink grant for indicating that a transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is triggered by a second uplink grant in a first subframe on a Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA) cell. The first uplink grant requests a report of an aperiodic CSI. The wireless device computes the aperiodic CSI based on a valid subframe no later than the first subframe in which the first uplink grant is received.
