Claim 8:
9. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving a channel state information (CSI) report configuration, the CSI report configuration associated with one or more CSI reference signal (RS) resources, each CSI-RS resource comprising a set of ports or port groups, wherein the CSI report configuration explicitly configures a single subband size;
selecting at least two CSI-RS resources or at least one CSI-RS resource with at least two port groups, of the configured CSI-RS resources, for which to report CSI; and
sending a CSI report for the selected at least two CSI-RS resources or the at least one CSI-RS resource with at least two port groups, wherein sending the CSI report comprises:
determining the UE has insufficient resources for the CSI report with the configured subband size; and
determining to omit at least a portion of the CSI associated with all, or only one, of the at least two CSI-RS resources or the at least one CSI-RS resource with at least two port groups, wherein the portion of the CSI comprises only a subband precoding matrix indicator (PMI) of the CSI-RS resource or port group associated with a weaker channel quality indicator (CQI) or the CSI for either even resource blocks (RBs) or odd RBs.
