摘要: The disclosure relates to a method, performed in a multi-antenna radio access node comprising four logical antenna ports mapped to corresponding physical antennas, of transmitting data using three physical antennas. The method comprises determining (S51) loss of data transmission from one physical antenna of the four physical antennas. A required multi-antenna transmission scheme is determined (S52). An antenna mapping matrix prestored in the radio access node is selected (S53), the selected antenna mapping matrix adapted to the required multi-antenna transmission scheme. Data on the four logical antenna ports are re-mapped (S54) to the remaining three physical antennas by using the selected antenna mapping matrix, whereupon the data is transmitted (S55) from the remaining three physical antennas.

摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for multi-user pairing and, in some embodiments, Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) calculation in a cellular communications system. In some embodiments, a method performed in a base station of a cellular communications system to perform downlink scheduling for Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) comprises, for each User Equipment (UE) of a plurality of UEs considered for MU-MIMO UE pairing, obtaining a relative beam power at the UE for each of the plurality of beams. The relative beam power at the UE for each beam is a value that represents a relative beam power of the beam at the UE relative to a beam power of a strongest of the plurality of beams at the UE. The method further comprises selecting a MU-MIMO UE pairing based on the obtained relative beam powers.

摘要: A method, network node and wireless device for phase error compensation for Fifth Generation downlink systems with four correlated uncalibrated antennas are provided. A method includes applying N incremented phase rotations to one of the four antennas to produce N channel state information reference signal resources, N being an integer greater than 1. The method also includes transmitting N CSI-RS on 4 CSI-RS ports to a wireless device, WD, each of the N CSI-RS resources being transmitted with a different one of the incremented phase rotations. The method further includes receiving from the WD a CSI-RS resource indication that indicates a particular one of the N CSI-RS resources. The method also includes applying, in subsequent transmissions to the WD, a phase rotation to the one of the four antennas, the phase rotation corresponding to the indicated CSI-RS resource.

摘要: Systems and methods for estimating Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for Multi-User Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) based on channel orthogonality. In some embodiments, a method performed by a radio access node includes obtaining a SU-MIMO signal quality measurement for at least a first user and an additional user; obtaining an indication of orthogonality between a channel of the first user and a channel of the additional user; and estimating a MU-MIMO signal quality measurement for the first user as if the first user and the additional user are paired with each other for a potential MU-MIMO transmission based on the SU-MIMO signal quality measurements and the indication of orthogonality. In this way, a computational complexity for the SINR estimation of MU-MIMO users can be greatly reduced. This may enable a large number of user pairing alternatives to be evaluated in practical wireless systems to achieve improved MU-MIMO performance.

摘要: Systems and methods for Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) rank reduction to improve downlink throughput are disclosed. A method of operation of a radio access node includes determining that an imbalance between parallel channels of a spatial multiplexing downlink transmission to a wireless device is greater than an imbalance threshold and/or that a Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) rate over time for the parallel channels of a spatial multiplexing downlink transmission reported by the wireless device is greater than a NACK rate threshold. The method also includes, in response to determining that the imbalance between the parallel channels is greater than the imbalance threshold and/or that the NACK rate is greater than the NACK rate threshold, performing a fast rank reduction for a next downlink transmission whereby a rank is reduced from a rank indicator reported by the wireless device to some lower rank. Reducing the rank may improve downlink throughput.

摘要: Embodiments of a method in a base station configured to transmit and receive wireless signals to and from a user equipment, UE. A downlink channel response of a first UE antenna is determined, based on uplink signals received from the UE. First preceding weights are calculated based on the determined channel response of the first UE antenna. Orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal preceding weights are determined based on the first preceding weights. First and second downlink signal layers are transmitted using the first preceding weights and the orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal preceding weights.

摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and computer products for base station antenna calibration. A method is implemented in a base station for a cellular communications system. The method includes selecting, from a plurality of User Equipments, UEs, assistant UEs to assist the base station with antenna calibration, wherein selecting the assistant UEs is based upon criteria that includes UE channel state information, CSI, from the UEs; one or more uplink channel characteristics of an uplink channel from the UEs to the base station; a UE capability of the UEs, UE traffic information related to the UEs; and any combination thereof. A further step is obtaining antenna calibration assistance information from the assistant UEs, the antenna calibration assistance information being information that is used by the base station for antenna calibration.
