Techniques for reporting channel state information (CSI) based on scalable channel feedback are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive data transmission from one or more cells among a plurality of cells and may report CSI for each of the plurality of cells. For scalable channel feedback, the UE may report CSI with different granularity for different cells. The granularity of feedback for each cell may be selected based on the quality of a communication channel between the cell and the UE, which may be determined based on a long-term channel gain for the cell. The granularity of feedback may be defined by a subband size, a reporting interval, granularity of quantization of CSI, etc. The UE may report CSI for each cell based on the granularity of feedback for the cell. The UE may receive data transmission sent by at least one cell based on the reported CSI.
