Channel quality indicator reporting for spatially coupled multiple-input multiple-output

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network node, a configuration associated with spatially coupled multiple-input multiple-output (SC-MIMO) communications, wherein the configuration is associated with an initial code block and one or more regular code blocks for one or more bands configured for channel state information (CSI) reporting. The UE may transmit, to the network node and in accordance with the configuration, a CSI report that includes, for each band of the one or more bands, a respective pair of channel quality indicator (CQI) values, wherein a first CQI value of the respective pair of CQI values corresponds to the one or more regular code blocks, and a second CQI value of the respective pair of CQI values corresponds to the initial code block. Numerous other aspects are described.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
