    Abstract: Generating a channel state information (CSI) feedback report is provided. A set of reference signals is received (1502). A set of entries that are included in the CSI feedback report is computed (1504). Each entry has a most significant bit, and one or more remaining bits, where an order of each of the entries in the CSI feedback report are arranged based upon a bit level classification of the entries (1508). A value of the most significant bit of each of the entries is identified, and the entries, which have a most significant bit value corresponding to a higher bit value have the remaining bits arranged in a group that is positioned in the CSI feedback report prior to a group of tire remaining bits of the entries, which have a most significant bit value corresponding to a lower bit value (1510).
