Channel estimate or interference reporting in a wireless communications network

An apparatus for wireless communications at a network entity, comprising:

• one or more memories comprising instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the apparatus to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), an indication to report at least one of a channel quality indicator (CQI) or a pre-coding matrix indicator (PMI) for one or more future communications resources, wherein the one or more future communications resources are within a maximum future number of resources, as per capability information of the UE, relative to transmission of the indication from the network entity for which the UE is capable of predicting the COI or the PMI;
• receive, from the UE, a channel state feedback (CSF) report indicating at least one of a predicted CQI or a predicted PMI for the one or more future communications resources prior to the one or more future communications resources occurring in time;
• and
• transmit, to the UE, scheduling information scheduling the UE to communicate on at least one of the one or more future communications resources associated with a lower interference than other future communications resources based on the CSF report.

A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a network entity, an indication to report at least one of a channel quality indicator (CQI) or a pre-coding matrix indicator (PMI) for one or more future communications resources, wherein the one or more future communications resources are within a maximum future number of resources, as per capability information of the UE, relative to transmission of the indication from the network entity for which the UE is capable of predicting the CQI or the PMI;
• transmitting, to the network entity, a channel state feedback (CSF) report indicating at least one of a predicted CQI or a predicted PMI for the one or more future communications resources prior to the one or more future communications resources occurring in time;
• and
• receiving, from the network entity, scheduling information scheduling the UE to communicate on at least one of the one or more future communications resources associated with a lower interference than other future communications resources based on the CSF report.
