Abstract: Described herein are solutions for channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) resource setting. A network can be configured to support CSI-RS resources for communicating a CSI-RS between a base station and a user equipment (UE) at a same orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol.

For example, a base station can transmit using CSI-RS resources at a same OFDM symbol using different frequencies for each CSI-RS resource via different transmission beams. The frequencies of the CSI-RS resources can be defined relative to one or more reference resource block (RB) locations in a frequency domain or based on offsets applied to the one or more reference RB locations.
