  • Embodiment B1 may be based on at least one of the following options:
  • ⁇ Option 2 The details of the CMR configuration in the time domain may be based on at least one of the following several options 2-x.
  • - ⁇ Option 2-1 One symbol CMR per TRP.
  • - ⁇ Option 2-1a One CSI-RS resource per TRP.
  • - ⁇ Option 2-2 CMR of X (>1) symbols per TRP. The X symbols may be consecutive or non-consecutive.
  • - ⁇ Option 2-2a More than one CSI-RS resource per TRP. The more than one CSI-RS resource may be contiguous or discontinuous in the time domain.
  • - ⁇ Option 2-3 CMR placed in multiple consecutive OFDM symbols.
  • ⁇ Option 4 The details of the CMR configuration in the spatial domain may be based on at least one of several options 4-x below.
  • - Option 4-1 Only one port is set for any CMR among multiple CMRs.
  • - ⁇ Option 4-2 The number of CSI-RS ports for any CMR among multiple CMRs is greater than one.
  • - ⁇ Option 4-3 The same number of CSI-RS ports are configured among multiple CSI-RS resources (e.g., all CSI-RS resources).
  • This option may be based on at least one of the following features: - ⁇ Separate report quantity (reportQuantity) values are defined for delay/frequency/phase offsets, which may be, for example, a value indicating a delay offset (dOffset), a value indicating a frequency offset (fOffset), or a value indicating a phase offset (pOffset). - A separate CSI reporting configuration may be configured for each value of reportQuantity. Different CMR sets may be configured for different values of reportQuantity. -- ⁇ This option allows multiple amounts of delay/frequency/phase offset to be set simultaneously.
  • Constraints may be defined for the usage of time resources for which (including) a CMR for UE-assisted CJT calibration is configured. According to embodiment B2, the complexity of the measurement/calculation implementation in the UE is reduced for extended CSI reporting for CJT calibration.
  • One or more report contents (report amounts) for extended CSI reporting for CJT calibration may be defined. According to embodiment B3, appropriate report contents can be reported depending on a scenario, etc., and a trade-off between report contents and reporting overhead can be appropriately considered.
  • Embodiment B3 may be based on at least one of the following options:
  • - ⁇ Options 1-6 Selection of TRPs corresponding to CSI reports (e.g., bitmap indicating corresponding TRPs).

This option may be based on at least one of the following examples: -- ⁇ Example 1: The RRC IE configures one or more report contents in the CSI report. -- ⁇ Example 2: The RRC IE configures more than one reporting content in the CSI report. At least one of the DL MAC CE and the DCI may indicate one or more of the configured reporting contents to be actually reported/activated in the report.
  • the UE determines the type/number of report contents based on the results of measurements/calculations. This option may be based on at least one of the following examples: -- ⁇ Example 1: If the indicator (delay/frequency/phase offset) for one of the CMRs is greater than (out of) the threshold, the UE reports only the TRP selection regarding which TRP is (is not) available/suitable for CJT. Otherwise (if the indicators for all CMRs are less than/within the threshold), the UE may report indicators for each of the corresponding TRPs. -- ⁇ Example 2: The conditions for determining the type/number of report contents may not be defined in the specification. For example, Example 1 may depend on the UE implementation.
  • ⁇ Option 4 (Especially for Option 3-2) The way in which the UE notifies the gNB/NW of the actual (exact) reporting content may be based on at least one of the following options 4-x.
  • - ⁇ Option 4-1 The type of report content to be reported may be signaled by an X bit (eg, 1 bit) in the CSI report for CJT calibration.
  • - Option 4-2 Reporting resources are configured for each type of report content. The UE may select which resources are used. The resources may imply which types of report content are reported.
  • the UCI payload size may be based on at least one of the following options: - Option 1: A specific size is determined before measurement/reporting. The actual (exact) payload size may be smaller than the determined specific size. Unused bits may be reserved bits, ignored, or filled with zeros (padded). - Option 2: The UE determines the actual (exact) payload size for each report. A fixed payload may be determined for part of the report (e.g., bits for selecting the report content). This ensures that there is no ambiguity between the gNB and the UE and that a variable payload size is determined for each report. Decoupling of CSI Part 1 and CSI Part 2 may also be applied.
  • a rule/signaling/instruction may be introduced to determine whether the UE assumes that the gNB has performed pre-compensation for delay/frequency/phase offsets (based on the reports).

During the time window after each report (until a specific time has elapsed since each report), the UE may assume that pre-compensation has been performed on the PDSCH.
  • the time window length/specific time may be X frames/subframes/slots/symbols/milliseconds (msec). The time window length/specific time/X may depend on the UE capabilities (or may be reported by the UE as UE capabilities).
  • the network may configure multiple CMRs from multiple TRPs and use a new parameter to indicate whether pre-compensation has been performed for the multiple CMRs.

  • the CMR may be a CSI-RS that is not precoded/beamformed, a UE-specific CSI-RS, or a CSI-RS other than the CSI-RS used for CJT calibration. Applying pre-compensation to the CSI-RS can reduce the processing load on the UE.
