Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 5:
6. A system for dynamically changing a channel state information (CSI) reporting protocol for a wireless device communicating with an access node within a wireless network utilizing two radio access technologies (RATs), the system comprising:
a processing node; and
a processor coupled to the processing node configured to perform operations comprising:
identifying a first signal performance parameter for the wireless device on a first RAT of the two RATs;
identifying a second signal performance parameter for the wireless device on a second RAT of the two RATs;
comparing the first signal performance parameter to a first predetermined threshold;
comparing the second signal performance parameter to a second predetermined threshold;
determining that the first signal performance parameter meets the first predetermined threshold and that the second signal performance parameter does not meet the second predetermined threshold;
determining that the wireless device is a high-performance device, wherein said high-performance device includes one or more of a relay node or a 5G-capable device; and
in response to determining that the wireless device is a high-performance device and that the first signal performance parameter meets the first predetermined threshold, dynamically changing the CSI reporting protocol by increasing CSI reporting frequency for the wireless device over the first RAT, wherein the CSI reporting frequency over the first RAT is independent of and is greater than a CSI reporting frequency for the wireless device over the second RAT.
