A method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided for radio link adaptation. In an example implementation, the method may include a user equipment receiving a channel quality report configuration from a network node, the channel quality report configuration including a first transport block size. The method may further include determining a channel quality indicator based at least on the first transport block size and transmitting the channel quality indicator to the network node. In another example implementation, the method may include a network node determining a first transport block size, the first transport block size being a target transport block size, and transmitting a channel quality report configuration to a user equipment, the channel quality report configuration including the first transport block size. The method may further include receiving a channel quality indicator from the user equipment, the channel quality indicator determined at the user equipment based at least on the first transport block size transmitted from the network node.
