tnyellowtomcat - In my opinion (which doesn't amount to a hill of beans)
I believe that AAPL would like to have a cross license agreement with QCOM BUT AAPL does not have very much in the way of air interface patents (especially patents declared and recognized as being essential to the Standard Boards). I also believe that IDCC has such patents and MAY be willing to sell a patent portfolio to make such a cross license possible. JMHO
Qualcomm on verge of Apple resolution
by Fuad Abazovic on 30 November 2018
In a chat with CNBC, Qualcomm’s CEO confirmed that it and Apple are on the doorstep of a resolution of multi quarter licensing related issues. What CNBC didn’t tell you is that Apple doesn’t want to pay Qualcomm a tiny amount of money as it wants a special and favorable deal.
In a recent interview with Jim Cramer, Mollenkopf describes activities in the talks with Apple that are more consistent with the 4th (final) quarter than the 1st quarter of the game. We just wanted to make this clear for people who don’t follow American football. It was surprising to hear that the CEO of Qualcomm believes that the second half of this year or into next year is when the resolution may happen.
It all centres on about $13 per iPhone licensing royalties.
Bear in mind that the fuss centres on about $13 per sold iPhone, as long as the iPhone costs $400 or more. We did our homework and every single iPhone listed at Apple.com costs more than $400 leaving a small sum of discounted outdated iPhones which might sell for at less than $400.
The negotiations are underway, and Apple is in no hurry to settle, unless it loses one of the big patent or other litigation cases in the US, Europe or China. That would mean more trouble and the necessity for a settlement. Based on research we conducted over the last few months, Apple is most likely to lose at least some of the patent cases due to the massive amounts of evidence presented to the courts in three continents.
Mollenkopf also confirmed that he would love to have Apple as a 5G customer but based on our research Apple won’t be in the first wave of 5G, it will be the Android community to do the early work and Apple won’t have its 5G solution ready before the second half of 2020.

Motion vector prediction and refinement using candidate and correction motion vectors
Abstract
The method includes determining at least one candidate motion vector associated with a neighboring block of said current block. A prediction motion vector is determined from the candidate motion vector, and the current block is coded from the prediction motion vector. The prediction motion vector is determined according by determining, for the candidate motion vector, a corrective motion vector so as to minimize a distortion calculated between the neighoboring block successively coded and reconstructed and a prediction block motion compensated by the at least one candidate motion vector modified by the corrective motion vector. The prediction motion vector is then determined from the candidate motion vector modified by the corrective motion vector.

Method and apparatus for minimizing timing artifacts in remultiplexing
Abstract
A particular implementation for controlling single program transport streams during remultiplexing to a multiple program transport stream uses a series of leaky bucket buffers to minimize timing artifacts in the multi-program transport stream. Another implementation for controlling the remultiplexing process limits the number of consecutive packets to be transferred from each single program transport stream, or controls the multiplex frequency of each single program transport stream within the multi-program transport stream. An alternative implementation controls the remultiplexing process using multiple program clock reference values such that packets from each single program transport stream are released only after a previous program clock reference value is greater than the system time.

Method and apparatus for enhancing coverage of machine type communication (MTC) devices
Abstract
A method and apparatus are described for a low cost machine-type-communication (LC-MTC) wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to enhance coverage. An example method for physical broadcast channel (PBCH) enhancement includes receiving system information on an enhanced PBCH (ePBCH). The ePBCH is located in a set of radio frames which is a subset of available radio frames, where the subset includes fewer than all the available radio frames. The ePBCH is received in at least one radio frame of the set of radio frames. An example method for physical random access channel (PRACH) enhancement includes receiving configuration of legacy PRACH resources and enhanced PRACH (ePRACH) resources. The WTRU selects one of legacy PRACH resources or ePRACH resources based on a coverage capability. Another example method for PRACH enhancement includes receiving configuration of ePRACH resources. The ePRACH resources include multiple ePRACH resource types, each ePRACH resource type being associated with a coverage capability.

Method and apparatus for signaling the release of a persistent resource
Abstract
A method and apparatus for signaling the release of a persistent resource in long term evolution (LTE) are disclosed. An indication of the release of a downlink (DL) persistent resource is received by a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) from an evolved Node-B (eNB) via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). A positive acknowledgement (ACK) is transmitted by the WTRU which denotes that the indication has been received. The PDCCH or a medium access control (MAC) CE may be used by the eNB to signal the indication. At least one bit may be added to contents of the PDCCH to signal whether the PDCCH is for DL persistent or dynamic resource allocation. The DL persistent resource is then released and an indication that the DL persistent resource has been released is transmitted.

Apple pursues Qualcomm chip engineers as modem legal battle deepens
Jeremy Horwitz@horwitz November 15, 2018 8:11 AM
Locked in an increasingly dangerous legal battle with Qualcomm over modem patents and trade secrets, Apple is upping the ante by aggressively seeking to lure employees from its one-time chip supplier. According to a new Bloomberg report, Apple is now seeking chip engineers located in Qualcomm’s home city of San Diego, California, territory the company has not previously targeted in its recruiting efforts.
While Apple’s own chip development efforts have long been known to be both strong and growing, the company has concentrated its California hiring on Northern California — close to its own Cupertino headquarters — with satellite offices in at least three other states and four other countries where key chipmaking rivals are located. By expanding its hiring to San Diego, Apple appears to be gearing up to poach engineers from California’s only other chipmaking hub, one that has gained considerable importance over the past decade, thanks to the growing popularity of wireless devices.
According to the report, Apple is specifically seeking hardware and software engineers from San Diego to work on wireless components and could be planning a new satellite location for wireless chip design. It’s also looking for engineers to work on its Neural Engines, the dedicated AI and machine learning processors found inside its A11 and A12 families of chips.
Having previously sourced all of its wireless components from other companies, Apple reportedly established an advanced wireless chip development program back in 2012, led by trusted senior executive Bob Mansfield. Since then, the company has released W-series wireless chips for the Apple Watch, AirPods, and Beats headphones, focusing primarily on compact, high-performance Bluetooth capabilities.
Developing in-house cellular technology is the next frontier for Apple’s engineers. A highly publicized spat with Qualcomm revealed that Apple was upset with high licensing fees for Qualcomm’s 4G modems, leading Apple to use slower Intel modems instead. In the resulting lawsuit, Qualcomm recently claimed that Apple improperly gave Intel access to modem-related trade secrets in an effort to free itself from Qualcomm’s components.
After nearly catching up with Qualcomm in 4G modem technology, Intel is now apparently struggling to develop 5G modems, leaving Apple with little choice but to wait until 2020 for a 5G version of the iPhone — if it relies upon Intel parts. As with CPUs and GPUs, however, developing its own modems would enable Apple to free itself from external chip suppliers, possibly even leading to higher-performance or more power-efficient 5G modems.
Qualcomm is currently the leading maker of 5G modems, having created the Snapdragon X50 components used in the first home and mobile 5G devices, and is already working on second-generation 5G components. Hiring modem engineers away from Qualcomm would give Apple its best shot at creating similar chips, and though it would still need to pay 5G patent licensing fees to Qualcomm and others, it might also be able to develop and license its own patent-worthy modem technologies as an offset.

Apple targets Qualcomm employees with new job listings
After dropping Qualcomm from the iPhone
By Jacob Kastrenakes@jake_k Nov 15, 2018, 12:18pm EST
Apple and Qualcomm have been in a heated dispute for the last two years, and now Apple is taking another small jab at the company by opening up jobs that seem to be designed to grab employees from the chipmaking giant.
Bloomberg spotted that Apple has opened 10 job listings this month for chipmaking positions in San Diego. That’s where Qualcomm is based, and according to the report, Apple has never searched for chip engineers there before. It also suggests that Apple could be opening up another regional office for chip designers.
Apple’s new modem supplier has lagged behind Qualcomm
Of course, there’s nothing unusual about trying to hire employees from a top-tier rival. It’s an obvious move for Apple, which prides itself on designing many of its own chips, and it’s something the company already does in other locations. Bloomberg points out that Apple has regional offices designed to help it hire employees from Intel, AMD, and others.
But it’s notable that Apple is targeting Qualcomm at the very same time that it’s trying to move away from something Qualcomm does best: modems. Apple completely dropped Qualcomm for its latest iPhones, choosing instead to get modems from Intel. But Intel has always trailed when it comes to modem performance, and, in a recent lawsuit, Qualcomm argues that Apple and Intel have gone to illegal lengths to catch up.
Whether or not that’s true, it speaks to the fact that Apple has good reason to search out Qualcomm’s modem experts. That said, Bloomberg reports seeing job listings focused on a variety of technologies, including LTE and 5G, but also Bluetooth and AI, so this could be more than just a way to boost Apple’s cellular performance.

Method and device for reducing noise in a component of a picture
Abstract
The present principles relate to a method and a device for reducing noise in a component of a picture. The method includes obtaining a low-pass filtered component by low-pass filtering the component of the picture, for a current pixel in the component of the picture. For at least one current neighboring pixel of the current pixel, computing a distance, relative to the current neighboring pixel, between the value of the current pixel in the low-pass filtered component and the value of the current neighboring pixel in the low-pass filtered component. When the distances relative to the at least one neighboring pixels of the current pixel are lower than a first threshold, modifying the value of the current pixel in said component of the picture according to a linear combination of the value of the current pixel in the component of the picture and the value of the current pixel in the low-pass filtered component. Otherwise the value of the current pixel in the at least one component of the picture remains unchanged.

and the Public Interest in the Qualcomm v. Apple Case
?
By James Edwards
November 8, 201
An administrative law judge at the U.S. International Trade Commission recently found patent infringement in Qualcomm’s case against Apple (See Qualcomm v. Apple), but then inexplicably refused to recommend that the commission issue an exclusion order against infringer Apple.
The ALJ found that Apple’s iPhones, manufactured in China, containing Intel chips, also made in China, infringe Qualcomm’s patent #9,535,490. Apple’s product may have been designed in Cupertino, California, but Chinese workers in Chinese factories make these patent-infringing imports. This makes Apple little more than any other Asian implementer.
The ITC’s job is to protect against the importation of infringing goods, as this is considered an “unfair trade act” for purposes of the ITC. When infringement is determined, an import ban shall be issued unless doing so is against the public interest. In other words, an import ban is presumed in these cases. This should be a slam-dunk for Qualcomm.
To be clear, the ITC has only one remedy available in Section 337 cases: an import exclusion order. The commission cannot award monetary damages or any other damages, under current law.
In all previous smartphone cases before the ITC, when an importer was found to infringe, the commission has always issued exclusion orders. In its history, the commission has only previously denied an import ban three times when finding infringement.
However, Judge Thomas Pender ignored this record. In his newly released reasoning, Pender acknowledges that it is unusual not to impose an exclusion order after a finding of infringement, yet he concludes that to block the infringing Apple imports would be against the “public interest.”
Pender argued that Qualcomm is an “established and profitable” company and has the resources to pursue Apple for patent infringement – which is exactly what Qualcomm was doing in this case. The ITC is charged with defending IP and patents for all companies.
Is there some new standard that “established and profitable companies” are no longer deserving of ITC action? It so happens that Apple leads the pack of “established and profitable” firms. Apple has “reported its fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue and profit” experiencing its “best year ever,” the Wall Street Journal writes. Apple doesn’t need and hardly deserves special protection for its patent infringement, particularly in light of its latest profitability coming from price increases on iPhones (including infringing ones) and app sales.
Pender also argued that allowing an exclusion order would harm Intel and may lead to its exiting the baseband chip market. It is not the ITC’s role to protect specific competitors, but to enforce the law and take action against “unfair trade acts.” Intel itself is a powerful company that touts its role in 5G leadership. It’s hard to believe it would exit the market, after a single ITC ruling to block infringing technology.
This decision sets a disturbing precedent for the ITC. Never before has an administrative law judge at the ITC found patent infringement and not recommended an exclusion order. There is no public interest that should allow that. I trust that the ITC commissioners will exercise adult supervision over pretty flimsy reasoning.
This adjudicatory refusal to act is tantamount to abrogating the rule of law. Declining to recommend the ITC’s remedy when patent infringement is found here denies the American patent owner, Qualcomm, the right to exclude others from using its patent-protected technology. The company inventor is merely asking the ITC to keep products that infringe its patents out of the United States.
Of note, the patent asserted and found infringed is not a standards-essential patent. Qualcomm has every right to exclude patent aggregators such as Apple from using its inventions. The semiconductor and wireless communication leader has no obligation to license anyone to use these chips or to accept a fee Qualcomm regards as unreasonable.
First, Qualcomm structured the request for an exclusion order in a way that would continue to allow Apple to import some devices. It carved out of the exclusion order request those Apple devices that contain Qualcomm’s chips, as Apple pays Qualcomm for the chips in those devices. Thus, American consumers will not suffer if Apple can’t import its devices that infringe the IP of one of America’s premier R&D firms and contain a rival’s infringing chips.
Consumers also still have noninfringing iPhone models available, as well as other smartphone makers’ devices to choose from. Apple, the most profitable company in the world, might lose some revenue, but it would still capture significant revenues from its other products and its services such as iTunes.
What will be harmed, absent an exclusion order in this case, is U.S. leadership in 5G technology. Qualcomm has long been the R&D arm of the wireless industries, contributing the lion’s share of innovation to 3G, 4G and now 5G even as companies like China’s Huawei play a greater role in working on standardized technology.
And while 5G may be the focus of the national security concerns at issue here, it’s worth noting that Qualcomm’s patent actions against Apple at the ITC and elsewhere cover a handful of its myriad nonstandard contributions to products like Apple’s, making possible the likes of mobile video, app store operation, GPS navigation, power conservation and so much more.
Judge Pender pointed to the race for 5G as part of his “public interest” justification claiming that it will harm Intel’s involvement in the race for 5G. While it is true that Intel has been heavily invested in 5G, that firm is not working on the standards on which 5G will run, which is fundamental and where Qualcomm leads.
Intel may be a contributor to the 5G ecosystem, but Qualcomm is building the backbone of that ecosystem. Additionally, with all that Intel appears to have invested in 5G, it’s far-fetched to believe it would leave its segment of this emerging technology.
Ironically, the thing that will ultimately harm the United States in the race for 5G leadership is the devaluing of patent rights. If we make it harder for companies and individuals to defend their IP, it will destroy the incentive system we need to maintain that global leadership.
A few months ago, CFIUS recognized the important role that Qualcomm holds in the race for global 5G leadership and the national security and economic implications that go with it. Qualcomm, like anyone else, should be able to enforce its property rights and send a message to others that they cannot get away with patent infringement.
In the fight for 5G technological leadership, it’s Qualcomm and Huawei in critical areas. And the Chinese mean business. The Chinese “government leaned on Chinese companies to vote for [Chinese ‘polar coding’ technology] en masse at a key standard-setting meeting” in 2016, the Wall Street Journal reports, gaining polar coding’s inclusion as part of a 5G standard.
It should be noted that neither Apple nor Intel has made a standard-setting contribution in 5G. Neither brings innovative leadership to 5G’s platform development, certainly nothing approaching Qualcomm’s global leadership. Both patent infringers will benefit from Qualcomm’s contributions in the development of 5G. And the American public will benefit from Qualcomm’s efforts as 5G adds $3 trillion to U.S. GDP and 3 million new jobs.
Finally, the International Trade Commission is in danger of causing the same harm to patent rights as the U.S. Supreme Court has inflicted on patent owners with the court’s lame-brained eBay decision.
In eBay, the high court made it more difficult for patent owners to obtain injunctive relief under its four-part test This has given patent infringers leverage to demand below-market licensing fees. Prior to eBay, federal courts finding infringement presumed to issue a permanent injunction — to shut down infringers’ continued commercial infringement activities of making and selling knockoffs.
If Pender’s highly unusual decision marks the eBay-ization of the ITC, then enforcing patents will have become even more difficult — and enabling foreign gamesmanship against U.S. firms like Qualcomm. Ironically, eBay had the effect of steering more patent infringement complaints to the ITC. Is this the next shoe dropping?
When the ITC considers the administrative law judge’s recommendation in this Qualcomm-Apple case, commissioners should consider the precedents of presumptively remedying patent infringement with an exclusion order. They should abide by the rule of law. They should reject the supposed “public interest” Judge Pender conjures, and find in favor of the patent-owning, standard-setting, R&D-leading, American firm — the one that invents the inside components of smartphones rather than the aggregator of others’ patents into a $1,000 phone.
For those of us who understand what’s at stake in the future of U.S. innovation, we understand that it’s Qualcomm that should get justice, including on the basis of public interest.

Qualcomm's ultrasonic sensor could be exclusive to Samsung till mid 2019: Report
tech2 News Staff 06 November, 2018 13:37 IST
Samsung's Galaxy S10 is expected to be launched around the Mobile World Congress 2019. While we know that the South Korean giant is planning to place an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor underneath the display of the phone, a new revelation suggests something which could worry other phone manufacturers.
As per a report by 91 Mobiles, Samsung is expected to have exclusive rights to Qualcomm's ultrasonic sensor for at least the first half of 2019.
Why is this bad news for other OEMs?
Well, Qualcomm is still to unveil its in-display fingerprint sensor for a reason and as per the report, it's everything to do with accuracy and area of the display the sensor covers. Qualcomm's hardware is expected to cover as much as 30 percent of the display, which will drastically increase the space one has to place a finger for authentication. If the rights to use this sensor remains exclusive to Samsung for the first half of 2019, then we might see a surge in the number of flagship devices opting for an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor only in the second half of 2019.
What makes ultrasonic sensors unique in comparison to the in-display scanners seen on Vivo and Oppo phones is the fact that the latter uses optical sensors. The ultrasonic sensor detects the user's fingerprint by sending an ultrasonic pulse against the finger to map the pores and ridges. In comparison, optical fingerprint sensors use light to illuminate the pores and ridges on your finger and make a 2D map.
Now, the recently launched OnePlus 6T too has an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner but one issue that mars its use is that the user is forced to place the finger at a particular spot. This is something that the Qualcomm sensor on the Galaxy S10 will look to improve on.

Qualcomm Suffers Setback in Antitrust Battle
Some analysts see the ruling by a U.S. district judge as “a game-changer for the industry”
By Brent Kendall and Tripp Mickle
Nov. 6, 2018 7:13 p.m. ET
A federal judge dealt a setback Tuesday to Qualcomm Inc.’s QCOM -0.58%? defense against an antitrust lawsuit brought by the Federal Trade Commission, ruling that the chip maker must license some of its industry-essential patents to rival chip suppliers.
The ruling Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, Calif., poses a threat to the Qualcomm’s business model, analysts said. Its technology is widely used in smartphones, but the San Diego-based company hasn’t licensed patents for that technology to chip-making rivals like Intel Corp. INTC 1.22%? Instead, it has included licenses only for manufacturers or device makers, charging a percentage of the price of a smartphone.
When Qualcomm’s intellectual property was incorporated into cellular communications standards, the company made commitments to standard-setting organizations that it would make its relevant patents available for use. Qualcomm has argued that the agreements didn’t require it to license technology to rivals.
Judge Koh rejected that argument. She said court precedent established that Qualcomm’s commitments “include an obligation to license to all comers, including competing modem chip suppliers.” And those licenses have to be offered on fair and reasonable terms, the judge said.
“This is a game-changer for the industry,” said Florian Mueller, an intellectual-property analyst who studies patent litigation.
Qualcomm historically has licensed patents by charging device makers a percentage of the sales price up to $400 on handsets. The ruling means that it could only assess fees based on the $15 to $20 cost of modem chips in the future, Mr. Mueller said.
Qualcomm didn’t immediately provide comment. The FTC declined to comment.
The decision could indirectly benefit Apple Inc., which filed a lawsuit in January 2017 alleging the chip supplier demanded unfair terms for patents and required manufacturers license its patents to get Qualcomm chips. This year, Apple dropped Qualcomm as a supplier of modem chips for its latest lineup of iPhones, relying instead on chips from Intel.
Apple and Intel declined to comment on the decision.
The FTC-Qualcomm case hasn’t yet gone to trial, so is far from over. But it resolves in the government’s favor one of several important issues in Qualcomm’s ongoing legal fight.
The FTC sued Qualcomm in early 2017, alleging the company engaged in unlawful tactics to maintain a monopoly on baseband processors used in cellphones. The commission made several allegations, some of which weren’t a subject of Tuesday’s ruling. The trial is set to begin in January, though the FTC and Qualcomm have engaged in settlement negotiations. The two sides had asked Judge Koh to hold off on issuing her ruling while they continued those talks, but the judge declined. Her ruling potentially could give more leverage to the FTC.
The FTC and Apple complaints have weighed on Qualcomm. After filing suit, Apple and Huawei Technologies Co., a Chinese smartphone maker, began withholding payments for royalties that Qualcomm depended on for more than half of its pretax profits.
Qualcomm’s shares, which have rebounded in recent months on its plans to repurchase $30 billion in shares, rose 0.25% to $63.63 on Tuesday.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Amit Daryanani said he expects Qualcomm to appeal the case. He said that a future settlement of the FTC case “could signal start of resolution” in its dispute with Apple, as well.
Qualcomm reports third quarter results on Wednesday and will likely address the FTC decision during a call with analysts, who expect the company to explain its implications.

Apple is preparing for a $7 billion court battle with Qualcomm, not in settlement talks
•Apple sued Qualcomm in federal court in San Diego, alleging that the chip company's practice of taking a cut of the selling price of phones as a patent license fee was illegal.
•Qualcomm denies the claims and alleges that Apple owes it $7 billion in unpaid royalties.
•Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf has said the company expects an out-of-court settlement.
Apple is not in talks to settle its $7 billion legal dispute with mobile chip maker Qualcomm, a person familiar with the matter tells CNBC.
Reuters earlier reported on Wednesday that Apple was preparing for trial.
"There is absolutely no meaningful discussion taking place between us and Qualcomm, and there is no settlement in sight," a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. "We are gearing up for trial."
In the past, Apple used Qualcomm's modem chips in its flagship iPhone models to help them connect to wireless data networks. But early last year, Apple sued Qualcomm in federal court in San Diego, alleging that the chip company's practice of taking a cut of the selling price of phones as a patent license fee was illegal.
Qualcomm denied the claims and has alleged that Apple owes it $7 billion in unpaid royalties.
The case is to go to trial early next year and has spawned related legal actions in other courts around the world. Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf has said the company expects an out-of-court settlement.

Judge: Qualcomm must license modem tech to rivals like Intel
It won't be allowed to wait for an antitrust settlement
Qualcomm isn't having much luck defending itself against the FTC's antitrust lawsuit. US federal Judge Lucy Koh has ruled that Qualcomm must license some of the patents in its cellular modems to rival chip manufacturers. Qualcomm and the FTC had previously asked Koh to delay the ruling for up to 30 days while the two sides negotiated a possible settlement, but the judge denied that motion.
We've asked Qualcomm for comment.
There's a good chance Qualcomm isn't happy about the move, though. The wireless chip firm is embroiled in a longstanding patent royalty dispute with Apple, and has even accused the iPhone maker of feeding trade secrets to Intel. Now, it might not have much choice but to supply some of those secrets to the competition, possibly including Intel and Samsung. And when Qualcomm has lost and settled some antitrust cases in other parts of the world, an FTC settlement might not provide much relief.

Abstract
A device comprising a hardware processor and memory storing an application of an application package comprising a first version and a second version of the application, the first version being intended to be executed on a genuine device and the second version on a jailbroken device. The hardware processor determines a jailbreak status of the device, i.e. genuine or jailbroken and derives a key based on at least the jailbreak status. In case the device is genuine, the hardware processor deciphers using the key at least a first part of the first version and executes, the first version using the first deciphered part, for example a jump table used to execute CFG flattened code. In case the jailbreak status is jailbroken, the hardware processor deciphers using the key at least a first part of the second version and executes the second version using the second deciphered part, for example comprising executable instructions.

Automatic reconfiguration of network devices
Abstract
A solution for automatic reconfiguration of network devices adapted to switch from the role of access point to the role of station and vice versa. In order to prepare a first network device for automatic configuration in the network, a profile of a second network device connected to said first network device via a network is received. The profile comprises access point credentials of the second network device. The received profile is compared with existing profiles stored in a memory of said first network device and is stored in said memory, if necessary. In case at a later time a role change of the first network device is determined, the stored profile is retrieved from the memory and used for connecting the first network device to the second network device.

Channel state information transmission for multiple carriers
Abstract
Channel state information is reported in periodic and aperiodic reports for multiple component carriers or serving cells. Channel state information may be reported for a subset of aggregated downlink carriers or serving cells. For an aperiodic report, the carrier(s)/serving cell(s) for which channel state information is reported may be determined based on the request for the aperiodic report. A report collision may occur in a subframe between a periodic CSI report for a first serving cell and a report for a second serving cell. A priority rule may be used to resolve the report collision.
