Techniques and examples pertaining to linear combination codebook design and channel state information (CSI) feedback in mobile communications are described. Frequency-dependent parameterization is supported to reduce signaling overhead in reporting beam selection and to enhance CSI resolution. Additionally, the number of candidates for beam selection depends on the strength of each beam to be selected such that more candidates are considered for a stronger beam than for a weaker beam. Moreover, amplitude quantization and/or phase quantization for beams of different strengths are different to reduce quantization error.
