Overview about 5G CSI-RS Types

5G CSI-RS has 3 Types:



1- Non-Zero Power CS RS is used for two main purposes
 - For Channel Measurement CSI reporting, Beam Management, RLF, Beam Recovery, and Mobility.
 - For Interference Measurement, “Intra-Cell Interference” is mainly used to measure intra-Cell interference generated by Users during Multi-User MIMO


2- CSI Interference Measurement Resources
 - Mainly used for Interference Measurement, “Inter-Cell Interference” measures the interference reported or detected from Neighbor cells during SU-MIMO



3- Zero Power CSI RS
 - Define a Rate matching Pattern Serving Cell that May transmit on configured REs
