Abstract: A receiver receives a radio signal broadcast by a transmitter of a wireless communication network. The transmitter serves a cell of the wireless communication network in which the receiver is located. The radio signal has a plurality of configuration messages. Each configuration message includes information defining at least one location in the cell and parameters for a communication of the receiver with the wireless communication network. The parameters is associated with the certain location. The receiver determines the parameters for the communication of the receiver with the wireless communication network using a position of the receiver in the cell and the plurality of configuration messages.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device, a base station device, and a method for respectively obtaining an estimate of a DL covariance matrix from an UL covariance matrix. The devices and method are particularly suitable for massive MIMO scenarios, and are particularly applicable to FDD systems. The device comprises a processor configured to compute an APS of an antenna array, in particular in the continuous angular domain, based on the UL covariance matrix of a communication channel and an UL response of the antenna array. Further, the processor is configured to compute the DL covariance matrix of the channel based on the APS and a DL response of the antenna array. The base station device includes the device and the antenna array.
