Patent number: 12658992Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to the generation of channel state reports and precoding a wireless transmission based on frequency division duplex (FDD) reciprocity. A base station (BS) uses at least two precoders to transmit signals to A user equipment (UE). The UE generates a set of channel state reports, in which the UE transmits a first set of channel coefficients using a first timing, a set of port attributes using a second timing, and a second set of channel coefficients using a third timing. The first set of channel coefficients correspond to a first precoded portion of the wireless transmission, and the set of port attributes and the second set of channel coefficients correspond to a second portion of the wireless transmission. The BS modifies at least one of the precoders based on the channel state reports. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2021Date of Patent: June 16, 2026Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Rui Hu, Liangming Wu, Yu Zhang, Chenxi Hao, Min Huang, Qiaoyu Li, Wei Xi, Kangqi Liu, Chao Wei, Hao Xu

Patent number: 12652093Abstract: Port selection codebook enhancements are disclosed for spatial and frequency domain density (FDD) reciprocity. A base station may generate and signal a channel state information (CSI) report configuration including configuration of multiple CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) port groups, wherein each group includes one or more CSI-RS ports, and each group is associated with one or more codebook subset restrictions (CBSRs). Using the configured restrictions of the CBSRs, served user equipments (UEs) may determine linear combination coefficient feedback based on channel measurements of selected port groups and signals the feedback to the base station. Once the base station receives the feedback it may then determine a hybrid CSI-RS codebook using both the configured CSI-RS port groups and the linear combination coefficients. The base station may then transmit downlink data encoded with a precoding matrix selected from the codebook. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: June 9, 2026Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Liangming Wu, Chenxi Hao, Yu Zhang, Kangqi Liu, Min Huang, Rui Hu, Qiaoyu Li, Chao Wei, Hao Xu, Wanshi Chen
