Traffic-aware channel state information feedback

A method of wireless communication, comprising:

• transmitting, by a first wireless communications device, a resource allocation mode indication to a second wireless communications device;
• transmitting, by the first wireless communications device, a traffic parameter indication to the second wireless communications device;
• transmitting, by the first wireless communications device, a reference signal to the second wireless communications device;
• and
• receiving, by the first wireless communications device, a transmission parameter based on the reference signal, the resource allocation mode, and the traffic parameter indication, from the second wireless communications device.

A wireless communications device, comprising:

• a transceiver configured to:
• receive a resource allocation mode indication from a second wireless communications device;
• receive a traffic parameter indication from the second wireless communications device;
• and
• transmit a transmission parameter to the second wireless communications device as part of a channel state feedback message;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• select the transmission parameter based on a reference signal, the resource allocation mode indication, and the traffic parameter indication.
