Configuration of repetition factors for transmitting feedback data for 5g or other next generation network

Abstract

Configuring channel state information configuration parameters can reduce user equipment uplink feedback information. The user equipment can send the uplink feedback information to the network node by adapting the repetition factor based on one or more criteria. The repetition factor can be determined by the user equipment and/or a network node associated with the user equipment. Thus, reducing the frequency of reporting uplink feedback information can reduce power usage, signal interference, and increase battery life.
