Claim 28:
29. An apparatus for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the UE to:
transmit, to a network device, one or more reference signals;
receive control signaling indicating a rank adaptation parameter for communications with the network device, wherein the rank adaptation parameter is based at least in part on the one or more reference signals, and wherein the rank adaptation parameter indicates a quantity of frequency resources or a threshold;
determine, based at least in part on the quantity of frequency resources or the threshold indicated in the rank adaptation parameter, a first rank for communicating with the network device in a first set of frequency resources and a second rank for communicating with the network device in a second set of frequency resources, the second rank being lower than the first rank; and
communicate with the network device in the first set of frequency resources according to the first rank and in the second set of frequency resources according to the second rank.
