  • base stations can obtain uplink CSI by measuring uplink reference signals, thereby inferring more accurate downlink CSI.
  • the uplink CSI can be used as downlink CSI.
  • FDD frequency division duplex
  • uplink and downlink reciprocity cannot be guaranteed.
  • the downlink CSI is obtained by the UE measuring the downlink reference signal, such as the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) or the synchronization signal block (SSB). Therefore, the UE needs to generate a CSI report as predefined in the protocol or configured by the base station, and feed the CSI back to the base station so that it can obtain the downlink CSI.
  • CSI-RS channel state information reference signal
  • SSB synchronization signal block
  • CSI omission occurs (for example, when uplink resources available for transmitting a CSI report are insufficient to transmit a complete CSI report, the UE omits lower-priority bits from the CSI report), poor CSI feedback performance may be due to two factors: poor CSI feedback model performance or CSI omission.
  • Existing technologies do not clearly define how to monitor the CSI feedback model in this situation or determine the cause of the poor CSI feedback performance.
