Reporting a per codeword capacity ratio metric for improved wireless communications

A network entity, comprising:

• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the network entity to:
• receive a first report indicating a capability to support a first type of demodulation for a plurality of codewords, a second type of demodulation for the plurality of codewords, or both;
• transmit the plurality of codewords over a plurality of spatial streams based at least in part on receiving the first report;
• and
• receive a second report indicating a capacity ratio metric for each codeword of the plurality of codewords based at least in part on transmitting the plurality of codewords over the plurality of spatial streams.

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

• transmitting a first report indicating a capability to support per codeword demodulation for a plurality of codewords, a second type of demodulation for the plurality of codewords, or both;
• receiving, based at least in part on transmitting the first report, the plurality of codewords over a plurality of spatial streams in accordance with the per codeword demodulation or the second type of demodulation;
• and
• transmitting a second report indicating a capacity ratio metric for each codeword of the plurality of codewords based at least in part on receiving the plurality of codewords over the plurality of spatial streams in accordance with the per codeword demodulation or the second type of demodulation.
