摘要:
Examples are described relating to methods, apparatus and computer programs for configuring a user equipment in a cellular wireless network. Certain exemplary methods involve receiving (440), at the user equipment (430), control information regarding one or more of a plurality of channel-state information (CSI) reference signals. The plurality of CSI reference signals are receivable by the user equipment (430) from one or more of a plurality of antenna ports that form part of the cellular wireless network, the plurality of CSI reference signal being associated with corresponding antenna ports. The control information is for use in configuration of the user equipment (430) and is received over a radio communications downlink from a node (410) in the cellular wireless network. If estimation of one or more radio communication channels at the user equipment (430) is configured (450) based on the received control information, improvements in demodulation and CSI feedback are achieved.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for reporting low rank feedback information for each transmission point up to a maximum rank per transmission point. In this regard, a method includes determining a transmission rank and a precoding matrix for each of at least two transmission points of a plurality of transmission points. A method also includes determining a joint transmission rank based on at least two of the plurality of transmission points. A method also includes selecting a joint transmission precoding matrix based on the determined precoding matrix for each of the at least two transmission points and the determined joint transmission rank. The method further includes causing channel state information “CSI” to be transmitted to an access point, wherein the CSI describes the selected joint transmission precoding matrix.
摘要:
A first precoding matrix W1 is selected from a first codebook comprising sets of rank specific precoding matrices. The first codebook is characterized by there being fewer precoding matrices associated with higher ranks than associated with lower ranks, and characterized by precoding matrices associated with ranks above a certain rank all being diagonal matrices. The selected first precoding matrix W1 is used to select a rank-specific second precoding matrix W2 from a second codebook, such that the selected first and second precoding matrices form a joint precoder specific to a desired rank. The second codebook is characterized by differently sized precoding matrices associated with each of N total ranks, in which N is an integer greater than one. Information on the joint precoder is reported to a network node over an uplink transmission channel.
摘要:
Systems and methods for providing an efficient mechanism for transmitting interference vectors to communications terminals, such as user equipments (UEs), in an over the air radio telecommunications network with spatially multiplexed multiple user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) capability. A new pre-coding information downlink channel is defined. Messages containing semi-persistent interference vector information for MU-MIMO user equipment are defined and transmitted over the new channel in a manner that allows infrequent transmission and efficient use of resources. Using the interference vectors and applying inter-user interference adaptation to received messages, the UEs may receive spatially multiplexed MIMO transmissions and actively remove inter-user interference after reception of the messages. Compression of the pre-coding vector information transmitted over the pre-coding information channel may result in additional increases in efficiency in the system.

The method of interference cancellation in a CDMA wireless communication system comprises receiving an incident digital signal containing a user signal transmitted on a CDMA user physical channel and an interfering signal, projecting said incident digital signal onto a projection space orthogonal to the space containing said interfering signal, filtering said projected signal with a filter matched to the CDMA user physical channel for detecting the data contained in said user signal.
