Abstract:
An apparatus may include a transmitter arranged to wirelessly transmit channel status reports for channels within a transmission band to a base station and a processor. The apparatus may further include a rank adaptation (RA) module operable on the processor to direct the transmitter to send a multiplicity of sub-band channel quality indicator (CQI) reports, each sub-band CQI report comprising a measurement of a respective sub-band of the transmission band and a multiplicity of rank indicator (RI) reports, where each sub-band CQI report is accompanied by an RI report. The apparatus may further include a digital display arranged to display information transmitted via the base station to the apparatus. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Claim (Index 9):
A method comprising:\n causing, at a baseband processor for user equipment (UE)), channel status reports for channels within a transmission band to be transmitted, the channel status reports including:\n a plurality of sub-band channel quality indicator (CQI) reports, each sub-band CQI report to comprise a measurement of a respective sub-band of the transmission band; \n a sub-band rank indicator (RI) report from among a plurality of RI reports, the sub-band RI report to accompany the plurality of sub-band CQI reports; and\n a plurality of sub-band precoding matrix index (PMI) reports, one or more sub-band PMI reports from among the plurality of sub-band PMI reports to correspond to one or more respective sub-band CQI reports from among the plurality of sub-band CQI reports; and \n receiving downlink communications that include one or more data streams over the transmission band, at least portions of the downlink communications to occur at a first sub-band of the transmission band, the first sub-band characterized by a rank r to specify a number of data streams to be substantially simultaneously communicated over the first sub-band; searching a multiple rank codebook to determine a respective best PMI i r  for each of a plurality of ranks of the multiple rank codebook; selecting a rank r best  to be used at the first sub-band based on the respective best PMIs i r  for the plurality of ranks; causing the selected rank r best  to be transmitted in via the sub-band RI report for the first sub-band; and causing the respective best PMI i r  to be transmitted via a first PMI report for the first sub-band.
