CSI Report for MTC Operation

A method in a network node of receiving a channel quality indicator (CQI) report, the method comprising:

• transmitting, in a wireless network comprising a carrier bandwidth of a first number of physical resource blocks (PRBs), a physical channel comprising a first PRB set with a bandwidth of a second number of PRBs, wherein the second number of PRBs is less than the first number of PRBs;
• and
• receiving, from a wireless device, a report comprising a CQI determined by the wireless device that indicates a modulation and code rate of the physical channel that may be used to transmit the physical channel with a transport block error probability not exceeding 0.1 when the physical channel is transmitted in the second number of PRBs of the first PRB set in a subframe and at least part of the transport block is transmitted in the subframe.

A network node comprising processing circuitry operable to:

• transmit, in a wireless network comprising a carrier bandwidth of a first number of physical resource blocks (PRBs), a physical channel comprising a first PRB set with a bandwidth of a second number of PRBs, wherein the second number of PRBs is less than the first number of PRBs;
• and
• receive, from a wireless device, a report comprising a CQI determined by the wireless device that indicates a modulation and code rate of the physical channel that may be used to transmit the physical channel with a transport block error probability not exceeding 0.1 when the physical channel is transmitted in the second number of PRBs of the first PRB set in a subframe and at least part of the transport block is transmitted in the subframe.
