Abstract

A method performed by a wireless device ( 510, 700, 1100 ) is disclosed. The wireless device obtains ( 601 ) a configuration for a sub-band channel quality indicator (CQI) granularity and a sub-band precoding matrix indicator (PMI) granularity for the wireless device. The wireless device determines ( 602 ) channel state information (CSI) feedback according to the configured sub-band CQI granularity and the sub-band PMI granularity. The sub-band PMI granularity corresponds to a first sub-band size and the sub-band CQI granularity corresponds to a second sub-band size. The first sub-band size is smaller than the second sub-band size. The wireless device transmits ( 603 ), to a network node ( 560, 1000 ), the determined CSI feedback.
