1. A method, comprising:
based on a first defined rank indicator associated with a first physical transmission network layer of a network, sending, by a user equipment comprising a processor, channel state data to a network equipment, wherein the channel state data comprises pre-coding matrix data representative of a pre-coding matrix index associated with a pre-coding matrix for selection of an amplitude and phase transmission parameter associated with a transmission between the user equipment and the network equipment; and
based on a second defined rank indicator associated with a second physical transmission network layer, sending, by the user equipment, incremental channel state data, different from the channel state data, to the network equipment, wherein a precoder matrix index is based on the second defined rank indicator, wherein the incremental channel state data comprises an incremental precoder matrix index representative of an offset of a precoder index associated with the first physical transmission network layer, wherein the incremental channel state data comprises a differential channel quality indicator associated with a power sharing between the first physical transmission network layer and the second physical transmission network layer, wherein a ranking associated with the channel state data, having been increased by an increment, resulted in the incremental channel state data, wherein a third physical transmission network layer of the network has been selected by the network equipment based on at least a portion of the channel state data and the incremental channel state data, wherein a resource bandwidth to allocate for the user equipment has been selected based on the incremental channel state data, and wherein a first selection of the resource bandwidth and a second selection of the third physical transmission network layer have been performed concurrently.
