Wireless communications systems and methods related to wireless communications in a system are provided. A user equipment (UE) may receive from a base station (BS), a subband precoding configuration including a first number of bits and an indication of a common size for each subband of a set of subbands. The UE may select a plurality of precoders from a precoder candidate set based on the first number and the common size. The precoder candidate set may be based on an order of a spatial direction. Additionally, the UE may transmit to the BS, a communication signal in the plurality of subbands using the plurality of precoders.
