In some wireless systems (e.g., 5G new radio (NR) systems), a user equipment (UE) may experience coexistence interference when using collocated radio transceivers to simultaneously communicate using different radio access technologies (RATs). To mitigate the coexistence interference, the UE may transmit a configuration request to a base station, where the configuration request may identify that the UE is operating on multiple RATs, identify that the UE is experiencing coexistence interference, or request specific reference signal settings or resources. The base station may modify reference signal transmissions and settings based on the configuration request. For example, the base station may transmit more frequent channel state information reference signals (CSIRS) to the UE, and the UE may report channel state information (CSI) more frequently in response. In other cases, the base station may modify a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) pattern, CSIRS resources, or CSI reporting settings based on the configuration request.
