Extensive Summary of Agreements by Topic
General Agreements
- Baseline for CSI-RS Based L1-Measurement Reporting:
- Rel-18 LTM CSI reporting framework is the baseline for
CSI-RS-based L1-measurement reporting by gNB scheduled measurement
reporting.
- No L1-specific filtering for time and spatial domains is
introduced.
- Periodic reporting on PUCCH is supported; semi-persistent
and aperiodic reporting on PUCCH/PUSCH is under further study.
- Support for CSI-RS Resource Types:
- Semi-persistent CSI-RS resources are supported for
candidate cell L1-RSRP measurement, subject to UE capability.
- Repetition=off is supported for candidate cell CSI-RS in
Rel-19; Repetition=on is not supported.
- RS Type Determination for Event Triggered Reporting:
- At least one candidate RS shall be configured for event
LTM2.
- Candidate Cell CSI Acquisition:
- A UE is provided with RRC configurations for periodic
CSI-RS resources and CSI reports for one or more candidate cells.
- Semi-persistent CSI-RS resources are supported, subject
to separate UE capability.
- MAC CE is used to activate/deactivate semi-persistent
CSI-RS resources.
Measurement Reporting
- Event Triggered Reporting:
- SSB-based and CSI-RS-based L1-RSRP measurements are
supported for event-triggered reporting.
- CSI-RS-based L1-SINR measurements are under further
study.
- Maximum Number of Beams:
- RAN1 assumes a maximum of 16 beams can be reported by a
single event-triggered reporting, subject to UE capability.
- Container for LTM CSI Report:
- UCI is used as the container for LTM CSI reports to a
target cell, with solutions to avoid blind detection if valid CSI is not
available.
CSI Reporting Configuration
- Single vs.
Multiple Configurations:
- A single CSI report configuration is configured for a
candidate cell.
- Multiple CSI-RS resources for CMR can be associated with
the CSI report configuration, subject to UE capability.
- Restrictions Introduced:
- Codebook Configurations: TypeI-SinglePanel is
supported for LTM CSI acquisition.
- Report Frequency Configuration: Wideband CQI and
wideband PMI are supported.
- Report Quantity: cri-RI-PMI-CQI is supported.
- Max Rank: Supported up to separate UE capability.
- CSI-RS Ports: Up to 128 ports are supported,
subject to UE capability.
Filtering and Valid CSI
- L1 Filtering:
- L1 filtering is up to UE implementation; no consensus to
support specified filtering of L1-RSRP for LTM.
- Valid CSI:
- Solutions to avoid blind detection for LTM CSI reports if
valid CSI is not available:
- Option 1: CSI is reported when valid CSI is not
available.
- Option 1-1: One CQI codepoint is used to indicate that
valid CSI is not available (e.g., lowest CQI index).
Coordination Between Serving and Candidate Cells
- Signaling for Semi-Persistent CSI-RS:
- RAN1 requests RAN3 to study the feasibility of signaling
coordination between serving and candidate cells for semi-persistent
CSI-RS transmission.
Way Forward
- Future Studies:
- Companies are encouraged to check with RAN2 colleagues
regarding RS type determination for event LTM2.
- Further discussions on UE capability and triggering
mechanisms for CSI-RS measurement are planned.
- Final LS Approvals:
- LS on activation/deactivation of semi-persistent CSI-RS
resources for LTM candidate cells.
- LS on the number of beam measurements in the measurement
report MAC CE.

sessions and topics related to NR mobility enhancements Phase 4.
