  • Publication number: 20210036893
    Abstract: A method for implementing co-polarized feedback for frequency domain compression is disclosed. The method includes feeding back compressed channel state information, wherein at least one layer is restricted to be transmitted on one polarization and the feedback for the at least one layer only involves the channel state information on the one polarization.

  • Publication number: 20200186224
    Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method comprising: selecting, by a user equipment, a subset of linear combination coefficients from a linearized two-dimensional matrix having columns of frequency domain components and rows of spatial beams components for channel state information determination, wherein the number of linear combination coefficients in the subset is less than all of the linear combination coefficients; determining indication comprising information associated with column indices of the selected subset of linear combination coefficients from the linearized two-dimensional matrix, wherein the indication excludes the index of the column with lowest index of the linearized two-dimensional matrix; determining compressed channel state information comprising locations in the linearized two-dimensional matrix of the subset of linear combination coefficients and corresponding values of the linear combination coefficients at those locations; and reporting, from the use

  • Publication number: 20200028552
    Abstract: A method includes determining a number of polarizations. The method also includes determining a number of receive antennas that have a same polarization, determining a total number of receive antennas based on the number of polarizations and the number of receive antennas that have the same polarization; and applying singular value decomposition precoding on all the receive antennas with the same polarization.

  • Patent number: 9401826
    Abstract: A receiver apparatus receives a transmit signal through a plurality of transmission channels, wherein each transmission channel is described by its channel vector. A sparseness evaluation unit (127) may obtain a sparseness measure containing sparseness information for previously estimated frequency-domain channel vectors. From the plurality of receive signals, an estimator unit (120) estimates updated channel vectors for the transmission channels by applying an iterative blind channel estimation algorithm that may consider a change of the sparseness measure, out-of-band energy information and/or signal-to-noise information and cross-relations between pairs of receive signals. A combining unit (130) may combine the receive signals on the basis of combining coefficients derived from the estimated channel impulse responses for a pre-selected diversity combining scheme to obtain a combined receive signal representing an estimation of the transmit signal.
