1. A method, comprising:
transmitting, by a first terminal in a wireless network and to a network base station, first channel condition information (CCI) utilized by the network base station to select a first downlink transmission mode (DTM) that is different from a second DTM used for a second terminal, the second DTM being selected by the network base station based at least in part on second CCI associated with the second terminal; and
receiving, by the first terminal using the first DTM, first data and a first channel selection information reference signal (CSI-RS), based at least in part on the first DTM for the first terminal and the second DTM for the second terminal being assigned by a subframe allocation determined by the network base station, the first CSI-RS being received at a first CSI-RS transmission rate determined by the network base station based at least in part on a first proportion of traffic, the first CSI-RS transmission rate being different from a second CSI-RS transmission rate associated with a second CSI-RS received by the second terminal and from the network base station, the second CSI-RS transmission rate being determined by the network base station based at least in part on a second proportion of traffic.
