  • Patent number: 11863278
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to radio network communication. In one of its aspects, the present disclosure relates to a method, performed by a first APU, for sequential receive combining in a radio stripe system. The system comprises at least two APUs connected in series to a CPU and serves at least two UEs. According to the method, channel estimates for channels to said served UEs are received and based on these, a receive combining filter is determined. The receive combining filter is to be applied to received data signals. Thereafter, based on the obtained channel estimates and the determined receive combining filter, effective channels from said served UEs are determined. These represent the effective channel created after the receive combining filter being applied to each channel for said served UEs. The effective channels are transmitted from said served UEs to at least one subsequent second APU.

  • Publication number: 20230318667
    Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by an APU (103) for handling data transmissions in a distributed massive MIMO communication system (100). The APU (103) is comprised in one of at least two non-co-located groups of APUs (103) in the system (100). The APU (103) determines a first pre-coding configuration and a DL reference signal. The APU (103) transmits, to a UE (125), the DL reference signal pre-coded with the first pre-coding configuration. The APU (103) receives information indicating at least one phase adjustment parameter from the UE (125), and determines a second pre-coding configuration based on the first pre-coding configuration adjusted with the phase adjustment parameter. The APU (103) transmits DL data pre-coded with the second pre-coding configuration to the UE (125).
