Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may receive a first signal from a second wireless device and may identify a first bundle size for a precoding resource group (PRG) based on a characteristic of the first signal and, in some examples, based on performing channel estimation on the first signal. The first wireless device may transmit a feedback message to the second wireless device indicating a second bundle size for the PRG and associated with a second signal based on identifying the first bundle size. In some examples, the first wireless device may receive the second signal on a set of resources in accordance with the second bundle size. The first signal may be an example of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and the second signal may be an example of a precoded CSI-RS or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).
