Abstract:
The computational complexity of MCS adaptation for linear and non-linear MU-MIMO can be reduced by avoiding QR decomposition during subsequent stages of MCS adaptation. For instance, QR decomposition can be avoided in later stages of MCS adaptation by computing an instant upper right triangular matrix (R1) directly from an earlier upper right triangular matrix (R) and an earlier unitary matrix (U), which were obtained during a previous stage of MCS adaptation. As such, the instant upper right triangular matrix (R1) is obtained without performing QR decomposition on an instant Hermitian matrix (H1H), thereby allowing MCS adaptation to be performed for the new user group with less complexity. Additionally, computational complexity of MCS adaptation for linear MU-MIMO can be further reduced by avoiding matrix inversion during subsequent stages of MCS adaptation.

System and method embodiments are provided for traffic engineering (TE) in software defined networking (SDN). The embodiments enable a complete end-to-end TE solution between a user equipment (UE) and a source/destination across a radio access network (RAN). In an embodiment, a method in a network component for TE in a SDN includes receiving TE information from a first core network component in a core network, a RAN component, wherein the RAN is communicably coupled to the core network, wherein the TE information includes a TE objective; and determining a TE decision between at least one UE and a second core network component in the core network according to the TE information and the TE objective, wherein the TE decision comprises information for at least one end-to-end path solution between the at least one UE and the second core network wherein the path traverses the core network and the RAN.

Abstract:
Method and apparatus are provided for transmission of data. A precoder is selected, and a feedforward filter is derived in accordance with the precoder. In some embodiments, the precoder is an arbitrary effective precoder. Data prepared using the precoder and the feedforward filter can then be transmitted.
