Claim:
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising: receiving, by a mobile device, one or more configuration parameters, comprising one or more control channel parameters for configuration of a control channel for the mobile device, wherein the configuration of the control channel designates system resources to be occupied by the control channel, and wherein the one or more configuration parameters include an identification of a subset of the system resources to be occupied by the control channel that are to be excluded from a determination of a resource overhead assumption; determining, by the mobile device, the overhead assumption based, at least in part, on the one or more configuration parameters, wherein the determining the overhead assumption includes determining a set of resources associated with the control channel, the set of resources excluding the identified subset of the system resources, and wherein the one or more configuration parameters includes an identification of one of: deriving a channel state indicator (CSI) index based on the overhead assumption; and transmitting the CSI index to a serving base station.
