Abstract

The present arrangement relate to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for reporting a Channel State Information (CSI) report, the CSI report including a CSI part 1 and a CSI part 2 ; and communicating, by a wireless communication device with a network, based on the CSI report.
