  • Patent number: 10931354
    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives, from a base station, a trigger for reporting M CSI reports, M being an integer greater than 0. The UE determines that P processing units are available for calculation of CSI reports, each of the P processing units indicating a predetermined amount of computing power of the UE. The UE selects N CSI reports from the M CSI reports in accordance with a predetermined rule, N being a maximum integer that allows total processing units assigned for calculation of the N CSI reports to be smaller than or equal to the P processing units. The UE updates the N CSI reports.
