1. A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a configuration from a base station, the configuration specifying a bundle size N, wherein modulation symbols in N consecutive physical resource blocks (PRBs) are precoded with a same precoder;
determining whether a precoding condition is true, the precoding condition being that modulation symbols in a first set of resources and a second set of resources are precoded with a same precoder, wherein each set of the first set of resources and the second set of resources contains N PRBs;
when the precoding condition is met:
measuring reference signals in the second set of resources; and
determining a channel condition of the first set of resources in consideration of the measurements of the reference signals in the second set of resources.
