Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first device may receive a channel state information (CSI) feedback configuration comprising an indication to save, for a specified time period, a channel state feedback (CSF) that corresponds to a first reference signal carried on a downlink channel. The first device may transmit a differential CSF based at least in part on the CSF and a second reference signal carried on the downlink channel. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (55)

1 . A method of wireless communication performed by a device, comprising:

receiving a channel state information (CSI) feedback configuration comprising an indication to save, for a specified time period, channel state feedback (CSF) that corresponds to a first reference signal carried on a downlink channel;
