Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit signaling that configures a wireless device to use a multi-level coding (MLC) procedure to communicate with a base station. Based on receiving the signaling, the wireless device may select a channel quality indicator (CQI) index from a set of CQI indices that are associated with an MLC procedure. In some examples, the wireless device selects the CQI index from a set of CQI indices that includes both bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM)-based and MLC-based CQI indices. In other examples, the wireless device selects the CQI index from a set of CQI indices that includes solely MLC-based CQI indices. The wireless device may transmit the selected CQI index to the base station. And the base station may select a modulation and coding scheme for subsequent transmissions to the wireless device based on the received CQI index.
