Abstract: Techniques of generating CSI reports include designating at least one of the reports as a reference and the other reports as dependent on the reference. For example, a dependent CSI report may have a differential value of a CSI quantity rather than a raw value of the CSI quantity. Because generally for parameters in a CSI report, the differential quantity has a smaller range of values than the raw values of the CSI quantity, a quantization of the differential value of the CSI quantity will have fewer bits than the raw value; for example, for L1-RSRP, the raw value has 7 bits while the differential value has 4 bits. In another example, a dependent value of a CSI quantity is a flag indicating that the CSI quantity value is located in a reference CSI report.
