Abstract

Exemplary embodiments include methods and/or procedures for determining transmission parameters for downlink communication channels from one or more network nodes to one or more wireless communication devices, comprising: receiving information identifying a first data service type, of a plurality of available data service types, associated with a first wireless communication device; configuring a first plurality of antenna elements as a second plurality of channel state information (CSI) ports based on the first data service type, wherein the second plurality varies for the available data service types; and determining, based on transmission or reception using the second plurality of CSI ports, first downlink transmission parameters for the first data service. In some embodiments, the second plurality is less than the first plurality for a particular data service type. Exemplary embodiments also include network nodes configured to perform, and computer-readable media comprising instructions embodying, operations of the exemplary methods and/or procedures.
