    Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing power imbalance across antennas for DMRS transmissions are provided herein. In one example, a method includes receiving an indication of a requested precoder from a user equipment, wherein the requested precoder is included in a codebook defined in a 3GPP specification. The method further includes applying a modified precoder corresponding to the requested precoder. The modified precoder is included in a modified codebook that is a modified version of the codebook defined in the 3GPP specification. The method further includes transmitting a double-symbol demodulation reference signal with the modified precoder to the user equipment.

    Abstract: A base station includes at least one remote unit (RU) that exchanges radio frequency (RF) signals with a user equipment (UE) using an air interface. The base station also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the at least one RU. The controller forms first RLC protocol data units (PDUs) for a first cell and second RLC PDUs for a second cell based on Radio Link Control (RLC) service data units (SDUs). A first at least one processor in the controller performs first Medium Access Control (MAC) scheduling for the first cell based on a first buffer occupancy update to produce a first scheduling decision. A second at least one processor in the controller performs second MAC scheduling for the second cell based on a second buffer occupancy update to produce a second scheduling decision.
