Indication of proposed channel state information reporting scheme

A communication device in a communications network that includes a network node, the communication device comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• memory coupled to the processing circuitry and having instructions stored therein that are executable by the processing circuitry to cause the communication device to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining a plurality of channel state information, CSI, reporting configurations;
• determining a link quality measurement using CSI resources associated with the plurality of CSI reporting configurations;
• responsive to determining the link quality measurement, determining a CSI reporting configuration to be used in communicating CSI with the network node from the plurality of CSI reporting configurations based on the link quality measurement;
• and
• responsive to determining the CSI reporting configuration, transmitting information associated with the CSI reporting configuration to the network node.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory storage medium including program code to be executed by processing circuitry of a communication device in a communications network that includes a network node, whereby execution of the program code causes the communication device to:

• obtain a plurality of channel state information, CSI, reporting configurations;
• determine a link quality measurement using CSI resources associated with the plurality of CSI reporting configurations;
• responsive to determining the link quality measurement, determine a CSI reporting configuration to be used in communicating CSI with the network node from the plurality of CSI reporting configurations based on the link quality measurement;
• and
• responsive to determining the CSI reporting configuration, transmit information associated with the CSI reporting configuration to the network node.

A network node in a communications network, the network node comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• memory coupled to the processing circuitry and having instructions stored therein that are executable by the processing circuitry to cause the network node to:
• transmit a plurality of channel state information, CSI, reporting configurations to a communication device;
• and
• receive information associated with a CSI reporting configuration of the plurality of CSI reporting configurations from the communication device.
