Sharp · 8.1

Sharp requires that configurations resulting in 1 or 2-bit RS-PAI payloads be prevented for P-CSI and SP-CSI on PUCCH to avoid unspecified UE behavior, preferring network-side configuration restrictions over UE-side zero padding to alleviate UE burden. They propose that the determination of Zref and Z'ref timelines must consider the maximum computation time among both M and Mx updated CSI reports, ensuring AI/ML-based reports are not excluded from timing constraints. Sharp clarifies that for CSI reports with non-zero CPU and APU requirements, if the report is not considered within the available processing units, the UE is not required to update it, thereby preventing inconsistent priority handling where lower-priority reports are updated while higher-priority AI/ML reports are dropped. Finally, they propose reusing the legacy beam management CSI computation time for RS-PAI model monitoring reports to fill the current specification gap.
