1. A method comprising:

  • determining a multi-flow configuration for a multi-flow communication of a user equipment (UE), wherein the multi-flow configuration identifieswhether a multi-frequency configuration is utilized, andwhether multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication is configured for at least one cell in the multi-flow communication;

    determining one or more cell groups based on the multi-flow configuration; and

    determining at least one of a channel quality indicator (CQI) repetition rule or a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) repetition rule for the multi-flow communication based on one or more of the multi-flow configuration or the one or more cell groups, wherein the CQI repetition rule allows an independent CQI repetition factor to be configured for each cell group that comprises a plurality of cells that share a Node B.
