Patent number: 11476998Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently reporting channel state feedback for a set of subbands. As an example, a user equipment (UE) may receive a set of reference signals on the set of subbands and determine a respective channel quality indicator (CQI) index for each of the set of subbands based on the reference signals. The UE may then transmit indications of CQI indices for different subbands of the set using variable length indications, such as indications that include different numbers of bits. Since, in some examples, a small length or number of bits may be allocated for reporting CQI indices with a high probability of being reported, overhead in a wireless communications system may be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Igor Gutman, Shay Landis, Gideon Shlomo Kutz, Ran Berliner, Alexandros Manolakos, Ariel Yaakov Sagi, Guy Wolf, Sharon Levy
