Why it mattersThis is a technical improvement aimed at making wireless networks more efficient, which could help reduce the power consumption of cell towers.

In the filing’s own words

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates. The present disclosure relates to operations of a terminal and a base station in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the present disclosure describes a channel state information report method and device for network energy saving in a wireless communication system.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, configuration information for channel state information (CSI) reporting, the configuration information including information on channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources and a CSI report configuration based on a subset of CSI-RS ports of all CSI-RS ports of the CSI-RS resources; obtaining CSI based on the subset of CSI-RS ports of the CSI-RS resources; and transmitting the obtained CSI to the base station.
