Channel state information (CSI) reporting for extended (signal to interference and noise ratio) SINR range for ultra reliable and low latency communication (URLLC)

A base station comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable media comprising instructions that, upon execution of the instructions by the one or more processors, are to cause the base station to:
• identify, from a user equipment (UE), a wideband channel quality index (CQI) report related to the wideband;
• process the wideband CQI report to identify channel state information (CSI) of the wideband, wherein the CSI of the wideband is related to a signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) of the wideband;
• identify, from the UE, a sub-band CQI report related to a sub-band of one or more sub-bands, wherein the sub-band CQI report is transmitted using a number of bits identified from the set of 2, 3, 4, and;
• and
• process the sub-band CQI report to identify CSI of the sub-band, wherein the CSI of the sub-band is related to a SINR of the sub-band, and wherein the number of bits is configured to provide an extended SINR reporting range for the sub-band relative to the wideband CQI report.
