  • Patent number: 11950263
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) transmits concurrent channel state information (CSI) processing capability information to a base station. The capability information can take various forms, and is intended to constrain the base station in the types of CSI requests that can be made to the UE. For example, the UE may indicate different CSI processing capabilities for intra-CC and inter-CC cases and/or for different codebook types. The UE may also specify supported combinations of codebook types for concurrent CSI reporting. The UE may also specify maximum resources or weighting factors for different codebook types. The UE may further restrict the rank information it provides and use a priority rule for “dropping” CSI report data due to payload size restrictions. The base station may direct, or the UE may implement, improved utilization of CSI resources that are shared for multiple concurrent CSI reports. Minimum time requirements for CSI reporting may also be relaxed.

  • Patent number: 11784698
    Abstract: A method for beam assignment support comprises obtaining of, in a radio base station, a set of channel gain estimations representing potential transmissions in a set of beams to a user equipment. A set of bias values is obtained, representing connection quality predictions for a respective beam of the set of beams for transmission to the user equipment. The connection quality predictions are estimations calculated from measures of previous traffic load, previous radio quality of transmissions, and/or previous beam assignments of the first transmission reception point. A set of biased channel gain estimations is determined by weighting the channel gain estimations in dependence of respective bias values. A beam assignment based on the biased channel gain estimations is initiated. A method also for determining bias values in a network node as well as radio base stations.
