1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a transceiver configured to:
receive a reporting setting, wherein the reporting setting is configured with a higher layer parameter reportQuantity that is set to at least cri-SINR;
receive a resource setting associated with the reporting setting, wherein the resource setting is configured with a higher layer parameter resourceType that is set to aperiodic, periodic, or semi-persistent; and
receive, based on the resource setting:
a first set of reference signals (RSs) through a first set of RS resources;
a second set of RSs through a second set of RS resources;
a third set of RSs through a third set of RS resources; and
a fourth set of RSs through a fourth set of RS resources; and
a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
measure at least one RS from the first or second sets of RSs;
determine, based on the measured at least one RS from the first or second sets of RSs a first layer-1 signal-to-noise and interference ratio (L1-SINR);
measure at least one RS from the third and fourth sets of RSs; and
determine, based on the measured at least one RS from the third and fourth sets of RSs, a second L1-SINR,
wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit, in a single CSI reporting instance, the first and second L1-SINRs.
