    Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for reporting channel state information (CSI) for multiple spatial layers. The apparatuses and methods can include at least: determining, by a user equipment (UE), a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) for a set of precoding matrixes, wherein the PMI is determined based on a combination of digital Fourier transformation (DFT) spatial domain (SD) vectors, or based on DFT-based frequency domain (FD) compression; and transmitting, by the UE, the PMI to a next-generation NodeB (gNB).

    Abstract: An apparatus is configured to be employed within a base station. The apparatus comprises baseband circuitry which includes a radio frequency (RF) interface and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to generate control information, the control information including a configured number of ports; receive a plurality of sounding reference signals (SRS) via the RF interface from a user equipment (UE) device, wherein each of the plurality of SRS is associated with one of the one or more precoders; and generate a ranking of a the one or more precoders based on the received plurality of SRS, wherein the plurality of SRS are associated with the one or more precoders.

    Abstract: Techniques for interference-based beam selection are discussed. One example embodiment employable in a UE (User Equipment) can comprise a processor configured to: determine one or more parameters based on configuration signaling, wherein each of the one or more parameters is associated with at least one of channel measurements, interference measurements, or a beam information report; perform the interference measurements for each of one or more distinct UE beams; calculate a measurement metric for each beam pair of one or more beam pairs based on the interference measurements, wherein each beam pair comprises one of the one or more distinct UE beams and an associated NW (Network) beam; and generate the beam information report comprising the measurement metric for at least one beam pair of the one or more beam pairs.

    Abstract: An approach is described that includes receiving a CSI report, where the CSI report includes a channel quality indicator (CQI), a rank indicator (RI), and a precoding matrix indicator (PMI). The approach further includes constructing a precoding matrix based on a linear combination of a plurality of mutually orthogonal digital Fourier transformation (DFT) spatial beams, and determining a number of bits for the PMI of the precoding matrix. The approach also includes determining a space frequency matrix based, at least in part, on the number of bits for the PMI and the precoding matrix, and compressing the space frequency matrix. Finally, the approach includes determining a compressed PMI based, at least in part, on the space frequency matrix.
