    摘要: This invention presents methods comprising a BS with a plural of antennas capable of beamforming two or more spatial multiplexed streams with two or more antennas on UEs; using one or more of relays to project the capacity of the BS to cover one or more UEs; the BS estimating the uplink channel state information (CSI) between each antenna on the BS and each antenna on the one or more UEs using pilots transmitted from the UE antennas in the presence of the relays which amplifies and forwards the one or more pilots; and, the BS making use of the perseverance of the reciprocity of the over the air channel by the symmetry of the DL and UL paths of the relays to obtain the downlink CSI using the estimated uplink CSI that includes the effect of the relays.

    摘要: This invention presents methods for MU-MIMO wireless communication systems comprising a BS with plural of antennas, either closely located or distributed; A plural of AFRs deployed over a coverage area, each AFR has N_BF≥1 BF antennas with a beam pattern facing the MU-BFer and N_UF≥1 UF antennas with a beam pattern facing UEs or downstream AFR(s); A channel estimation module for estimating the Total Channels between a plural of UEs and the BS with the AFRs in place; and, A MU-BFer that uses the estimates of the Total Channels to perform beamforming computations for transmitting and/or receiving multiple spatially multiplexed streams of signals to or from a plural of UEs using the same frequency resource.
