1. A method, comprising:
connecting, by a user equipment (UE), to a plurality of cells in a network;
determining, by the UE, a specific slot for receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from a first cell of the plurality cells, wherein an index of the specific slot is n+X+L, where n is an index of a slot for receiving a downlink control information (DCI) from a second cell of the plurality of cells, X is a slot offset for triggering the CSI-RS and L includes parameters associated with sub-carrier spacings (SCSs) of the first cell and the second cell, wherein L is
![]() while Nslot,offset,CSIRSCA is a first carrier aggregation (CA) slot offset associated with the first cell for transmitting the CSI-RS, Nslot,offset,PDCCHCA is a second CA slot offset associated with the second cell for receiving the DCI, μoffset,CSIRS is a first SCS index with maximum value among lowest configured SCSs of the plurality of cells, μoffset,PDCCH is a second SCS index with maximum value among lowest configured SCSs of the plurality of cells and μCSIRS is an index of SCS of the first cell; and
receiving, by the UE, the CSI-RS from the first cell in the specific slot.
