Extensive Summary of Agreements by Topic
Spatial and Power Domain Adaptations
- Spatial Domain Adaptation Types:
- Type 1: All antenna elements associated with a logical
antenna port are disabled/enabled.
- Type 2: Part/subset of antenna elements associated with a
logical antenna port are disabled/enabled.
- CSI Reporting:
- Support for multiple sub-configurations in a CSI report
configuration.
- For Type 1 SD adaptation: Port subset indication based on
bitmap.
- For Type 2 SD adaptation: Each sub-configuration contains
a list of CSI-RS resources for channel measurement.
- Joint operation of SD and PD adaptation is supported.
- Power Domain Adaptation:
- Configuration of multiple power offset values for PDSCH
relative to CSI-RS.
- CSI-RS resources in a resource set for channel
measurement are associated with each sub-configuration.
- CSI Feedback:
- Reduction techniques for CSI overhead/report payload are
studied.
- Mapping order for CSI fields across sub-configurations
follows legacy principles.
- UE Complexity Reduction:
- Further study on minimizing additional UE complexity for
multi-CSI reporting.
- Codebook Configurations:
- Mixed codebook combinations introduced for Type 1 SD
adaptation.
- Only codebook type 1 for PMI is supported for Type 2 SD
adaptation and PD adaptation.
Cell DTX/DRX Mechanisms
- Activation/Deactivation Signaling:
- Support for new DCI format 2_X for
activation/deactivation of cell DTX/DRX configurations.
- Separate signaling for cell DTX and cell DRX
configurations.
- New RNTI introduced for scrambling of DCI format 2_X.
- Monitoring and Timing:
- DCI format 2_X is monitored in the common search space.
- UE applies cell DTX/DRX activation/deactivation changes
at the beginning of a slot after a delay based on PDCCH SCS.
- Impact on Signals/Channels:
- Rel-18 UE supporting cell DTX is not required to monitor
PDCCHs during non-active periods.
- HARQ-ACK of SPS PDSCH transmitted is not impacted by
non-active periods of cell DRX.
- UE Behavior:
- UE reports CSI only if receiving at least one CSI-RS
transmission occasion during cell DTX active periods.
- Cell DTX/DRX operation is supported only for sTRP.
- Higher Layer Signaling:
- Search space set configuration and DCI size for new DCI
format 2_X are provided by higher layers.
Beam Management and TCI Configuration
- Beam Management Enhancements:
- No further work on beam management enhancements for R18
NES.
- TCI Configuration Enhancements:
- No further work on TCI configuration enhancements for R18
NES.
General Agreements
- UE Capability Parameters:
- Support for simultaneous ports and resources per CC for
NES.
- Report Quantities:
- Report quantities of 'cri-RSRP', 'cri-SINR', or
'cri-SINR-Index' are not applicable to NES.
- CSI Mapping:
- Odd sub-band CSI(s) are mapped after even sub-band CSI(s)
in multi-CSI reporting.
- Cell DTX/DRX Applicability:
- Cell DTX/DRX operation is only supported for sTRP.
- Specification Updates:
- Adopted text proposals for TS 38.214, TS 38.212, and TS
38.213 to clarify CSI reporting, DCI format usage, and cell DTX/DRX
operations.
Miscellaneous Agreements
- Positioning SRS:
- Excluded SRS for positioning from DRX non-active period
handling.
- Spec Clarifications:
- Clarified UE behavior for CSI reporting and resource
configuration under various conditions (e.g., DRX, DTX, SD/PD
adaptation).
- Legacy Functionality:
- Removed restrictions on single resource set association
for CSI-ReportConfig to align with legacy functionality.
These agreements collectively aim to enhance network energy
savings, improve UE behavior clarity, and ensure alignment across
specifications for Rel-18 NES.
