Abstract: Systems and methods for early Channel State Information (CSI) feedback in New Radio (NR) are provided. In embodiments of the disclosure, CSI reporting is performed during a random access procedure to provide early CSI feedback and enable more efficient data transmission with higher spectral efficiency in earlier communications. In some examples, CSI reporting can be reported on Message 3 of the random access procedure after measuring channel and/or interference on a CSI Reference Signal (RS) (CSI-RS) during the random access procedure. The proposed solution allows early CSI to be triggered when a User Equipment (UE) performs initial access to a serving cell. With the early CSI acquired, the network can perform proper link adaptation including Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) precoding, and ensure efficient data transmission without having to wait until connection setup and configuration of the CSI framework is established.
