  • Patent number: 11115240
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for performing analog CSI feedback in a user equipment, comprising: a. obtaining an analog CSI matrix corresponding to the user equipment, the analog CSI matrix satisfies a condition below: X XH=D, where X denotes the analog CSI matrix, H denotes conjugate transpose of matrix, and D denotes a diagonal matrix; b. obtaining dominated element information corresponding to the analog CSI matrix according to predetermined index information, and transmitting the dominated element information to a base station. The solution according to the present disclosure can reduce feedback overheads to a greater extent, has a high CSI feedback quality, and can reliably implement CSI recovery at the base station side.

  • Patent number: 10547423
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and a device of configuring downlink control information. Specifically, the corresponding demodulation reference signal configuration information is set for three kinds of demodulation reference signal enhancement situations respectively and is indicated by the downlink control information according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a base station sends the downlink control information to user equipment, the downlink control information including a demodulation reference signal configuration index that indicates the demodulation reference signal configuration information, and the demodulation reference signal configuration information including one item in the demodulation reference signal configuration information set.

  • Publication number: 20160057753
    Abstract: The present invention provides a reduced DMRS configuration and a method and apparatus for adaptively selecting a DMRS configuration. The method comprises: estimating channel change with respect to a target UE; and selecting one of a normal DMRS configuration or a reduced DMRS configuration for the target UE based on the estimated channel change, wherein, in the normal DMRS configuration, a DMRS symbol is assigned to each time slot, while in the reduced DMRS configuration, a DMRS symbol is assigned to each subframe.
