Abstract: This invention presents methods and circuits for a BS to acquire DL CSI in a FDD wireless network comprising switching the normal transmitting and receiving frequencies in a first and a second FDD apparatus, and using UL pilot signals to estimate the DL CSI based on reciprocity of the over the air channels.
Abstract: This invention presents a method and apparatuses for wireless networking comprising one or more BS with Nbs antennas; two or more SCs in the range of a BS where a SC has Nsc antennas, uses Nsc1?Nsc antennas for communication with a BS and uses Nsc2?Nsc antennas for communication with one or more UEs; at the same time a BS transmitting DL signals to K SCs using multi-user transmit BF in a frequency channel, a SC simultaneously transmitting DL signals to one or more UEs in its range using the same frequency channel; and, at the same time a BS receiving UL signals from K SCs using multi-user receive BF in a frequency channel, a SC simultaneously receiving UL signals from one or more UEs in its range using the same frequency channel. Furthermore, beamforming using antennas on the SCs is performed to reduce the inter-SC interferences.
