Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. A method for operating a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving configuration information for at least one channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource that comprises a number (PCSIRS) of CSI-RS ports (PCSIRS CSI-RS ports); and
receiving configuration information for channel state information (CSI) feedback that is based on a number (Q) of precoding dimensions (Q precoding dimensions),
wherein:
there is a mapping between the PCSIRS CSI-RS ports and the Q precoding dimensions, and
PCSIRS≠Q;

measuring the PCSIRS CSI-RS ports;
determining a measurement for the Q precoding dimensions based on the mapping and the measurement for the PCSIRS CSI-RS ports;
determining a CSI feedback based on the measurement for the Q precoding dimensions; and
transmitting, over an uplink (UL) channel, the determined CSI feedback.
