Techniques for dynamic configuration of channel state information (CSI) processing units are disclosed. In an example, a user equipment (UE) may determine an operational state of the UE. The UE may also identify a number of channel state information (CSI) processing units that are supported by the UE for calculating and reporting one or more CSI reports based on the operational state of the UE. The UE may also transmit, to a base station, a notification indicating the number of CSI processing units.
