Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive signaling from a network entity via a cell. The signaling may indicate a state of resource utilization associated with at least the cell. The UE may modify a compression scheme in accordance with the state of resource utilization. The compression scheme may be used at the UE for compressing channel state information (CSI) associated with a layer used for wireless communication between the UE and the network entity via the cell.
