For example, the base station 105-a and UE 115-a may establish one or more downlink channels 205 and one or more uplink channels 210. In this example, the base station 105-a may configure CSI-RS transmissions 215 that may be transmitted according to a schedule that is provided by the base station 105-a. The UE 115-a may monitor for the CSI-RS transmissions 215 and perform channel measurements based on the CSI-RSs that are received at the UE 115-a. The UE 115-a may format the channel measurements into channel state feedback reports 220 (e.g., CSI reports) that are transmitted to the base station 105-a according to a CSI reporting configuration (e.g., periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic reporting). The base station 105-a may use information from the channel state feedback reports 220 to determine transmission parameters for communications with the UE 115-a (e.g., a MCS, transmit power, etc.). As discussed herein, in some cases the schedule for CSI-RS transmissions 215 may result in CSI-RS transmissions 215 that occur during a scheduled inactive mode of the UE 115-a according to the DRX configuration, and according to techniques provided herein the UE 115-a may be set to be in a limited active mode during one or more CSI-RS transmissions 215.
