    Abstract: A method and apparatus may include measuring a space frequency downlink channel matrix. The space frequency downlink channel matrix reflects a channel response observed by the apparatus. The apparatus receives transmissions from an array of antennas of a network node. The method can also include determining a spatial channel vector. The method can also include determining scalar phase terms. The method can also include determining a Signal-to-Interference-Plus-Noise-Ratio scalar factor of the channel response observed by the apparatus. The method can also include transmitting an encoded form of the spatial channel vector. The method can also include transmitting an encoded form of the Signal-to-Interference-Plus-Noise-Ratio scalar factor. The method can also include transmitting an encoded form of the scalar phase terms.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for non-linear precoding in radio access networks are provided. One method may include, when it is determined that a user equipment is capable of being non-linearly precoded, determining one of two non-linear precoding modes and indicating the determined non-linear precoding mode to the user equipment. One of the two non-linear precoding modes is configured to use explicit beamformed channel state information, and the other one of the two non-linear precoding modes is configured to use explicit full downlink channel state information.

    Abstract: A technique includes receiving an uplink grant that indicates a size (M) of uplink resources allocated to the user device sub-band precoder indications; determining a set of uplink sub-band allocation parameters, including at least: a total number of bits (N) for sub-band precoder indications (where N remains constant for different values of M); a number of bits (m) per each of the sub-band precoder indications; and a sub-band size (J) for each of the one or more sub-bands; wherein at least one of the number of bits (m) per sub-band precoder indication and the sub-band size (J) for each of the one or more sub-bands changes or is a different value based on different sizes (M) of uplink resources; decoding each of the one or more sub-band precoder indications; and precoding, based on the one or more sub-band precoder indications, data for transmission via the one or more sub-bands.
