Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for allocating channel state information (CSI) processing unit (CPU) for user equipment (UE) initiated CSI. For example, the UE may receive an indication from a network entity (e.g., a base station or gNB) configuring the UE with a number of one or more CPUs allowed to be occupied for UE-initiated CSI feedback. The UE uses the at least one of the CPUs to calculate UE-initiated CSI feedback. The UE transmits at least one report including the UE-initiated CSI feedback if one or more conditions are met, such as when a mismatch between a CSI metric for a scheduled physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a CSI metric calculated as part of the UE-initiated CSI feedback is equal to or exceeding a threshold value.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an aerial user equipment (UE) may measure a first offset associated with a downlink frame based at least in part on a time when a downlink signal is received from a terrestrial base station. The aerial UE may determine a second offset corresponding to a starting time for the downlink frame at the terrestrial base station. The aerial UE may transmit an uplink message in an uplink frame using a timing advance that is based at least in part on a value of the first offset and a value of the second offset relative to a starting time associated with a global navigation satellite system frame duration. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may report capabilities pertaining to UE feedback processing, such as a number of simultaneous feedback reports that can be processed and reported by the UE for various types of feedback. For example, UE feedback processing capability may depend on channel state information (CSI) processing units (CPUs) available to the UE for feedback processing operations (e. g., for performing channel measurements, processing feedback, generating a feedback report, etc.). A UE may report feedback processing capability separately for periodic feedback reporting and for aperiodic feedback reporting, for different types of feedback reporting (e. g., for CSI reporting, for beam management reporting, etc.), etc. As such, a UE may more efficiently report capabilities pertaining to UE feedback processing, and a base station may more efficiently configure UE feedback reporting according to UE feedback processing capability.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel state information (CSI) for multiple transmission reception point (multi-TRP) transmission such as non-coherent joint transmission (NCJT), including determining subband sizes for CSI and rules for Part II CSI omission. A method that can be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a CSI report configuration. The CSI report configuration associated with one or more CSI reference signal (RS) resources, each CSI resource including a set of ports or port groups. The UE selects one or more CSI-RS resources for which to report CSI and determines a subband size for sending a CSI report based, at least in part, on payload of the CSI report. In an example method, the UE can determine whether the UE has sufficient resources for the CSI report and omit at least a portion of the CSI based on the determination.

Information is received from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) attached to a sensor, including one or more measurements associated with the IMU, where the sensor is deployed on a vehicle for sensing surrounding information to facilitate autonomous driving. The one or more measurements are analyzed with respect to one or more corresponding known measurements of the IMU. The discrepancy between the one or more measurements and the one or more corresponding known measurements is used to determine whether an adjustment to the sensor is needed.
