Methods and apparatus for user equipment (UE)-initiated channel state information (CSI) measurement and reporting. A method performed by a UE includes transmitting an indicator to request transmission of one or more CSI reference signals (RSs), receiving a downlink control information (DCI) format indicating a value of a CSI request field, and identifying a first time window. The method further includes identifying a reception time of the DCI format relative to a last symbol for transmission of the indicator, determining, based on the value, a CSI resource setting and a CSI reporting setting, and measuring, based on the CSI resource setting, the one or more CSI-RSs.
