Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to reference value reporting for artificial intelligence enabled channel state information reporting framework. An artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML)-based CSI feedback mechanism is described. A node (e.g., a UE) that deploys an encoder of an AI/ML model generates a CSI report that includes a CSI part (e.g., CSI feedback) and a reference value part.

A multiple-layer transmission can be conductively received (310) with each layer having a modulation type. Layers can be separated (320) from the multiple-layer transmission by using a matrix MIMO receiver having matrix coefficients. An EVM can be measured (330) for at least one layer of the separated layers. A maximum combining gain of the MIMO receiver can be determined (340) for each layer based on the receiver matrix coefficients. An adjusted EVM can be generated (350) by multiplying the measured EVM by a fraction of a square root of the maximum combining gain.

Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods, apparatuses, and systems that support user equipment (UE) association with a network. For instance, implementations provide ways for UE registration requests and UE policy provisioning to be processed by a network. In implementations, payload containers of a registration request are processed separately by an access and mobility management function (AMF) and are transmitted to a policy control function (PCF) using two different hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) POST request messages. The PCF implements a timer to ensure that both the HTTP POST messages are received by the PCF before the PCF initiates creating UE policy sections. In additional or alternative implementations, an AMF processes payload containers of a registration request into one payload. A PCF can then process new information identities and, in at least some implementations, identify and separate payload containers.
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to devices and methods for wireless communication of enhanced reporting of Quality of Experience (QoE) measurements while a device is in an inactive state. A user equipment (UE) reports, using small data transmission (SDT) in uplink message(s) a first list of a portion of the QoE measurement report(s) limited to a first allocation of uplink resources for SDT. In response to determining that the buffer contains an unreported portion of the one or more QoE measurement reports, the UE receives a second allocation of uplink resources for SDT and reports, using SDT while at least the transceiver of the UE is in an inactive state in second uplink message(s), a second list of a second portion of the QoE measurement report(s) limited to the second allocation of uplink resources for SDT.
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to devices and methods for a network-controlled repeater (NCR) device to be efficiently configured by a network device. The NCR device communicates, via at least one transceiver: (i) with at least one network device of a network via (a) a first link or (b) a second link; and (ii) with a user device via a third link. The NCR device receives, via the at least one transceiver from the at least one network device, one or more control messages including a configuration for sending repeater capability information of the third link. In response to receiving the configuration, the NCR device determines the repeater capability information and transmits, via the at least one transceiver, the repeater capability information to the at least one network device, enabling efficient beam indications by the at least one network device.
