  • Patent number: 11533090
    Abstract: A method and a system for downlink pre-coding in cloud radio access networks uses a baseband unit, a number of remote radio heads, and a number of user equipments. The baseband unit determines a received signal expression for each user equipment based on system parameters and channel state information, and determines a sum rate expression which may be achievable for downlink transmission based on the received signal expression. The baseband unit then sets up a constrained optimal problem expression subject to a maximum transmitting power of each remote radio head with an objective function of sum rate maximization based on the achievable sum rate expression, and finally determines optimal solutions for the constrained optimal problem where the optimal solutions comprise downlink pre-coding used for downlink transmission.

  • Patent number: 11483049
    Abstract: The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, or apparatuses that support channel state information feedback for semi-open-loop and open-loop schemes. The described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) to determine an open-loop, semi-open-loop, or closed-loop transmission scheme for deriving channel quality information (CQI). In the case of determined open-loop transmission scheme, the UE may select a transmission scheme corresponding to a time offset value and a precoder cycling granularity value. The UE may determine one or more of a time offset value, a precoder cycling granularity value, and a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) for a channel state information (CSI) report, and generate CQI accordingly. Additionally, the UE may include the determined values in the CSI report to indicate the transmission scheme used for the CQI derivation. Based on the CQI, the base station can then determine the transmission scheme and perform link adaption accordingly.
