Generating a channel state informal ion (CSI) feedback report is provided. A set of reference signals is received (1302). A plurality of entries that are included in the CSI feedback report are computed (1304), where the entries of the CSI feedback report include at leas: a set of coefficients (1306). Each coefficient is associated with at least one or more of a spatial domain basis index, frequency domain basis index, and a layer index (1308). The plurality of entries of the CSI feedback report are arranged (1310) in an order known to both the user equipment and the network entity. The plurality of entries of the CSI feedback report are prioritized using predefined permutations of the indices (1314).
