In a first aspect the present invention relates to a method of compensating for propagation delay in a wireless communication system. A first base station is in communication with a first plurality of antenna units which are adapted to be in wireless communication with a first terminal. The first terminal having a terminal antenna. The first plurality of antenna units is spatially separated. The method according to the first aspect comprises the steps of determining relative propagation delay from each of the first plurality of antenna units to the terminal antenna and using the determined propagation delay to establish a delay profile to compensate for propagation delay from each of the antenna units to the first terminal and applying the delay profile to a transmission between the base station and the terminal. In a second aspect the present invention further relates to a system implementing the method according to the first aspect.
摘要:
A system and method to instruct a User Equipment (UE) how Uplink Control Information (UCI) on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) should be transmitted with carrier aggregation. A semi-static signaling of a UCI mapping bit (via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter) is used by a base station such as an eNodeB to require the UE to transmit UCI using one of two pre-determined UCI transmission modes. The bit can be decided by the base station, considering, for example, the available bandwidth or quality of different Uplink Component Carriers (UL CCs) associated with the UE. This network-based solution allows the network to either configure a general rule of UCI transmission by the UE or to enforce the UCI transmission on the Uplink Primary cell (UL Pcell). Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

Some example embodiments presented herein are directed towards an eNodeB, and corresponding method therein, for establishing beamforming for downlink communications in a multiple antenna system. The eNodeB may transmit a plurality of reference signals, where each reference signal is beamformed into a distinct direction with in at least one correlated domain (e.g., an elevation and/or azimuth domain). The eNodeB may generate beamformed downlink communications for antenna elements and/or subelements based on received signal quality assessments of the plurality of reference signals. Some example embodiments may be directed towards a user equipment, and corresponding methods therein, for establishing beamforming for downlink communications. The user equipment may receive the plurality of reference signals and provide signal assessments of the reference signals based on measurements performed by the user equipment. The user equipment may transmit the signal quality assessments to the eNodeB and receive beamformed downlink communications based on the signal quality assessments.

Some embodiments provide a method in a wireless device for reporting channel state information, CSI, for a CSI process. The CSI process corresponds to a reference signal resource and an interference measurement resource. According to the method, the wireless device obtains an adjustment value associated with the CSI process. The wireless device estimates an effective channel based on one or more reference signals received in the reference signal resource, and applies the adjustment value to the estimated effective channel, thereby obtaining an adjusted effective channel. Furthermore, the wireless device determines channel state information based on the adjusted effective channel, and on interference estimated based on the interference measurement resource. Finally, the channel state information is transmitted to a network node.

There is disclosed a method of obtaining channel state information, CSI, with respect to a plurality of coordinated antennas. The method is performed in a control node. The Start method comprises transmitting, by said plurality of antennas, according to different CSI-RS transmit configurations and at different points in time, channel state information reference symbols, CSI-RS. At a first time instance a CSI report from at least one user equipment, UE, is received. Based on the CSI report being received at said first time instance, said received CSI report is associated with a specific CSI-RS transmit configuration of the different CSI-RS transmit configurations. A control node and a computer program are also disclosed.

Some of the example embodiments presented herein are directed towards an eNodeB (401), and corresponding method therein, for providing data transmission in a multiple antenna system. The eNodeB (401) may be configured to receive a plurality of signal quality assessments and a CSI report from a user equipment. Based on the received data the eNodeB (401) may determine a received power difference between the received data. The eNodeB (401) may further determine a beamforming direction for subsequent data transmissions. Based on the power difference, the eNodeB (401) may account for the received power difference in the subsequent data transmissions, thus improving data communications towards the user equipment.

Some embodiments provide a method in a wireless device for reporting channel state information, CSI, for a CSI process. The CSI process corresponds to a reference signal resource and an associated interference measurement resource, IMR. According to the method, the wireless device obtains an interference power adjustment value. The wireless device estimates interference and noise based on the IMR, and on the interference power adjustment value. Furthermore, the wireless device determines channel state information based on an estimated effective channel measured based on the reference signal resource, and on the estimated interference and noise. Finally, the wireless device transmits the channel state information to a network node.
摘要:
In a heterogeneous cell deployment a mobile terminal may need to receive control data transmissions from a macro node at the same time as a pico node is transmitting user data for the mobile terminal, using the same frequency or set of frequencies. This can result in a problematic interference situation. According to several embodiments of the present invention, at least one of two general approaches is used to mitigate the interference situation described above. In a first approach, the pico node's transmission power is reduced in some time intervals, thereby reducing the interference to a level where reception from the macro node is possible. In a second approach, which may be combined with the first approach in some cases, the data transmitted from the macro node is provided by the pico node, either alone or in combination with the macro node.

Data may be transmitted from a first communications device using multiple antennas to a second communications device based on precoder feedback defining a grid of transmission beams. A first precoder index may be received from the second communications device, and a second precoder index may be received from the second communications device. At least one symbol stream may be processed based at least in part on the first and second precoder indices to generate antenna signals for respective antenna elements of the multiple antennas, and the antenna signals may be transmitted over the multiple antennas to the communications device. Related base stations and user equipment are also discussed.
