Abstract:
The base station, receiving first pilot signals transmitted via each of multiple antennas of a user equipment (UE), selects one or more reference codebooks based on channel qualities of the received first pilot signals, and selects one or more sub-channels for each of the reference codebooks. Based on this, the base station determines one or more virtual channels, wherein each of the virtual channels comprises one reference codebook and the one or more sub channels selected for the one reference codebook, wherein the sub-channels are selected to minimum distance between corresponding virtual channel and corresponding reference codebook. And, the base station transmits antenna combining information to the UE, wherein the antenna combining information combines the multiple antennas of the UE into one or more antenna groups corresponding to the one or more virtual channels; and receive second pilot signals transmitted by the UE based on the antenna combining information.

In this disclosure, methods for pre-compensation of the phase shifting error, and apparatuses for the same are disclosed. In one example, a device performs precoding of a digital signal, while acquiring information on an error caused by a phase shifting of the precoding. Then, the device performs phase compensation on the digital signal based on the acquired information. Here, the phase compensation may compensate different amount of phase based on an amount of the phase shifting of the precoding. This phase compensated-digital signal is converted to an analog signal, and is transmitted to a receiver.
