Abstract: Embodiments recognize that in MIMO and M-MIMO systems, physical antennas tend to be closely spaced to each other (e.g., a grid). As a result, a spatial correlation typically exists between physical antennas as well as between transmissions from logical antenna ports. Embodiments exploit this characteristic to reduce the amount of pilot signaling needed to enable downlink channel estimation. Specifically, embodiments limit pilot signaling to only a subset of supported logical antenna ports and rely on spatial correlation information to interpolate channels from logic antenna ports for which no pilot signaling is used.
