  • Patent number: 11456839
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is disclosed including a receiver that receives, from a base station (BS), Zero Power (ZP) Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration information and a ZP CSI-RS. The ZP CSI-RS is transmitted as a periodic ZP CSI-RS, a semi-persistent ZP CSI-RS, or an aperiodic ZP CSI-RS. When the ZP-CSI-RS is transmitted as the periodic ZP CSI-RS or the semi-persistent ZP CSI-RS, the ZP CSI-RS resource configuration information designates periodicity and a timing offset for the periodic ZP CSI RS or the semi-persistent ZP-CSI-RS. The receiver receives the ZP CSI-RS based on a ZP CSI RS resource specified using the periodicity and the timing offset. When the ZP CSI-RS is transmitted as the aperiodic ZP CSI-RS, the receiver receives DCI that triggers the aperiodic ZP CSI-RS. The receiver receives the ZP CSI-RS based on a ZP CSI-RS resource specified using the DCI.
