Abstract: An UL channel for a UE is measured based on reference signal (s) to determine UL channel information. DL channel information is inferred based on UL-DL channel reciprocity and the determined UL channel information. Reporting is configured based on the inferred DL channel information for CSI for the UE and resource (s) are allocated for the UE to use to report the CSI. Information is signaled to the UE indicating a configuration of the reporting of CSI and the resource (s). DL reference signal (s) are transmitted toward the UE to be used for determination of the CSI. Report (s) of CSI are received on the allocated resource (s). The UE receives the configuration, determines the CSI using the configuration and the received DL reference signal (s) and fits the determined CSI into the allocated resource (s). The UE transmits the determined CSI on the allocated resource (s).
