Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method in a terminal device for Channel State Information, CSI, feedback. The method includes: determining, for each of a plurality of candidate ranks, a power offset between a CSI Reference Signal, CSI-RS, and a downlink data transmission; calculating, for each of the plurality of candidate ranks, a Signal-to-Noise Ratio, SNR, of the downlink data transmission based on the power offset determined for the corresponding candidate rank; selecting a rank from the plurality of candidate ranks based on the respective SNRs calculated for the plurality of candidate ranks; and transmitting a Rank Indicator, RI, indicating the selected rank to a network device.
