Patent number: 12362794Abstract: A network node signals to a wireless communication device which precoders in a codebook are restricted from being used. The network node in this regard generates codebook subset restriction signaling that, for each of one or more groups of precoders, jointly restricts the precoders in the group by restricting a certain component (e.g., a certain beam precoder) that the precoders in the group have in common. This signaling may be for instance rank-agnostic signaling that jointly restricts the precoders in a group without regard to the precoders' transmission rank. Regardless, the network node sends the generated signaling to the wireless communication device.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2024Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Sebastian Faxér, Mattias Frenne, Simon Järmyr, George Jöngren, Niklas Wernersson

Patent number: 12250040Abstract: Systems and methods for early Channel State Information (CSI) feedback in New Radio (NR) are provided. In embodiments of the disclosure, CSI reporting is performed during a random access procedure to provide early CSI feedback and enable more efficient data transmission with higher spectral efficiency in earlier communications. In some examples, CSI reporting can be reported on Message 3 of the random access procedure after measuring channel and/or interference on a CSI Reference Signal (RS) (CSI-RS) during the random access procedure. The proposed solution allows early CSI to be triggered when a User Equipment (UE) performs initial access to a serving cell. With the early CSI acquired, the network can perform proper link adaptation including Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) precoding, and ensure efficient data transmission without having to wait until connection setup and configuration of the CSI framework is established.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Siva Muruganathan, Sebastian Faxér, Mattias Frenne, Shiwei Gao
