Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to codebook subset restriction (CBSR) based on number of layers associated with a beam. A user equipment (UE) receives a channel state information (CSI) report setting that comprises an indication of a codebook subset restriction (CBSR). An initial amplitude value of a first restricted beam of a set of restricted beams is based at least in part on the CBSR. The UE adjusts the initial amplitude value of the first restricted beam based at least in part on a number of layers associated with the first restricted beam.
