Accurate Channel State Information (CSI) is critical for coherent detection, equalization, and adaptive resource allocation in modern wireless systems.

The report makes interim recommendations related to four key categories:
Research Funding Assistance
Academic Personnel Evaluations During Disruptions
Program Resizing and Restructuring
