Abstract:
A wireless communication system includes at least one transmit node having at least two transmit antenna ports, and at least one receive node having at least one receive antenna port. User information is transmitted between the at least two transmit antenna ports and the at least one receive antenna port on a radio propagation channel. A reconstructed channel state information (R-CSI) for a reconstructed radio propagation channel is computed. The reconstructed radio propagation channel is obtained as an estimated radio propagation channel compensated by a function of an estimated signal power imbalance between the at least two transmit antenna ports. And an indicative of the estimated signal power imbalance and the R-CSI is sent to the at least one transmit node.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for precoding in an open loop transmission communications system, wherein the method includes precoding data at each of M REs with a precoding matrix, precoding each of DM-RSs with one column of a precoding matrix which is same as that used for precoding M data REs. The method is distinguished by using at least L≧2 different precoding matrices from a set of precoding matrices W to precode the M REs and the E allocated REs such that REs precoded with a first precoding matrix are interleaved with REs precoded with at least one additional, different precoding matrix and the number of used precoding matrices L is adapted to the transmission rank r and number N of available DM-RS. The invention further concerns a radio transmitter and a user equipment.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a solution which solves the problem of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ambiguity by introducing separate, i.e. different DMRSs. This is especially the case for systems employing dynamic allocation of control and data signals to different PRBs.
Abstract:
A method is provided for improving synchronization and information transmission in a communication system, including: generating a signal with a centrally symmetric part s(k) exploitable for synchronization; and sending the signal over a communication channel. The signal is based on a uniquely identifiable sequence c(l) from a set of sequences exploitable for information transmission. The centrally symmetric part s(k) is centrally symmetric in the shape of absolute value thereof. The centrally symmetric part s(k) is of arbitrary length N.

Abstract:
A quantity of antenna ports of a transmitting apparatus is signalled in a wireless communication system. The quantity of antenna ports of the transmitting apparatus is encoded into a first type information and a second type information. The first type information is transmitted on a physical broadcast channel (PBCH); and the second type information is transmitted on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The PDSCH is transmitted on at least one antenna port indicated by the first type information.
Abstract:
A method in a Central Node (CN), a method in a Remote Node (RN), and a method in a wireless communication system for allocating reference signals to be used for uplink transmission are disclosed. According to one aspect reference signals are allocated with a method comprising the steps of: determining in a CN a number of reference signals N to be used for uplink transmission by a Remote Node RN; indicating to the RN the number of reference signals N to be used for uplink transmission by the RN; configuring an uplink transmission by the RN with at most the number of reference signals N; and performing by the RN the uplink transmission with at most the number of reference signals Non transmit antennas comprised in the RN. The present disclosure further discloses a CN and a RN relating to the methods.
Abstract:
A method is provided for arranging transmissions on a downlink carrier c, spanning a frequency range Fc, in a mobile radio communications system, wherein a bandwidth of Fc belongs to a set of predefined channel bandwidths in the communications system, and wherein the carrier c comprises a reference signal defined in the communications system. A configurable frequency range FRS comprising a set of time-frequency resources for comprising the reference signal of the carrier c is provided. Information associated with the configuration of said frequency range FRS is signaled to a receiver in the communications system, such that c can be deployed over a frequency range F smaller than Fc when the frequency range FRS is configured within F and any other transmissions on the carrier c are arranged to be within F.
