1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a transceiver configured to communicate with a network; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to perform operations comprising:
determining first Channel State Information (CSI) and second CSI based on at least one of a previous channel and interference measurement or a latest channel and interference measurement, wherein determining the first CSI and the second CSI comprises:
comparing at least one of a first offset and a second offset with a first minimal CSI processing delay, the first offset being between a trigger of CSI reporting and a first starting repetition of the uplink transmission with the first beam, and the second offset being between the trigger and a second starting repetition of the uplink transmission with the second beam;
comparing at least one of a third offset and a fourth offset with a second minimal CSI processing delay, the third offset being between a CSI measurement resource and the first starting repetition, and the fourth offset being between the CSI measurement resource and the second starting repetition; and
determining the first CSI and the second CSI based on the comparisons;
transmitting the first CSI via the transceiver to the network with a first beam, the first CSI multiplexed with a first repetition of an uplink transmission with the first beam; and
transmitting the second CSI via the transceiver to the network with a second beam, the second CSI multiplexed with a second repetition of the uplink transmission with the second beam.
