Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method and a network node for calculating transmitter precoding weights and receiver combining weights for a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna system. Channel responses are estimated at the network node for user terminals accessing the network node on a carrier. Zero forcing beamforming weights are determined for the carrier by adding one of the user terminals at a time in a calculation of an inverse of a Gram matrix containing parameters of the channel responses.
