Abstract:
A method of transmitting channel quality indicator (CQI) includes obtaining CQI of each, of the plurality of sub-bands, selecting a first sub-band having the best CQI of the plurality of sub-bands, transmitting the best CQI of the first sub-band at a first transmission cycle and transmitting a difference value between the best CQI of the first sub-band and a CQI of the first sub-band at a second transmission cycle. Signalling overhead due to CQI transmission can be reduced.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method of transmitting ACK/NACK (acknowledgement/negative ACK) information in downlink and an apparatus and method of receiving the ACK/NACK information are disclosed. The present invention configures ACK/NACK information on multiple UL codeword transmission using a PHICH and at least one NDI, whereby the ACK/NACK information on the multiple UL codeword transmission is transmitted to a user equipment without additional PHICH resource allocation. The present invention extends the conventional HI codeword and/or arranged position on a signal constellation, thereby transmitting ACK/NACK information on multiple UL codeword transmission to a user equipment without additional PHICH resource allocation.

Embodiments contemplate methods, systems, and apparatuses for interference measurement in a wireless communication network, including wireless communication networks the employ MIMO in uplink and/or downlink communication. Embodiments contemplate identifying one or more interference measurement resource elements that may be received from one or more transmission points. Embodiments also contemplate performing interference measurement estimation based at least in part on the identified one or more interference measurement resource elements. Channel state information (CSI) perhaps in the form of reports may be generated based at least in part on the one or more interference measurement estimation. Embodiments also contemplate that the CSI report may be transmitted to one or more nodes. In some embodiments, the one or more interference measurement resource elements may be received as part of a set of resource elements.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for a precoding matrix are disclosed. A codebook used for selecting a precoding matrix is comprised of m subgroups each including n precoding matrices. A user equipment indicates a specific precoding matrix selected from the codebook by transmitting to a base station a first codebook index indicating one of the m subgroups and a second codebook index indicating one of n precoding matrices in a subgroup. The base station configures the specific precoding matrix from the codebook based on the first and second codebook indexes.

Abstract:
A method of transmitting feedback data in a multiple antenna system includes generating feedback data based on the channel information and transmitting the feedback data at transmission periods, wherein the feedback data is transmitted in a plurality of report types respectively having a different control signal type contained depending on the transmission periods.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for generating a reference signal sequence by user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE receives a UE-specific sequence group hopping (SGH) parameter that is specific to itself, and generates a reference signal sequence based on a base sequence in each slot unit. The base sequence is classified into sequence-group numbers determined in each of the slot units by the UE-specific SGH parameter indicating whether SGH has been carried out, and base sequence numbers.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting feedback information in a codebook-based multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is disclosed. To transmit the feedback information, a signal is received to discern channel characteristics of the received signal, and a codebook is updated using an extended matrix including a plurality of vector components and using previous feedback information. Feedback information is selected for transmission from the updated codebook in consideration of the channel characteristics of the received signal.
