  • Publication number: 20250007600
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to address issues related to the computation of channel state information (CSI) and angular spectrum (AS) to perform beamforming. The CSI and AS, as well as various statistical channel parameters of a wireless channel, may be computed using different techniques, which include the use of domain knowledge enhanced neural networks (DKE-NNs). The CSI and AS may be further utilized to perform beamforming using various techniques. One of these techniques may include the implementation of eigen beamforming, which provides artificially generated power at locations within the AS that are identified with estimated eigenvector beam locations. As a result of the artificially-generated power, the resulting vector decomposition used to provide the beamforming weights results in widened eigenvector beams.

  • Publication number: 20240154658
    Abstract: An apparatus for use in an O-RAN base station includes processing circuitry. To configure the O-RAN base station for signal processing in an O-RAN network, the processing circuitry is to decode an SRS and a DMRS in a UL stream received from at least one UE. Channel estimation is performed based on the SRS to obtain a channel estimate matrix of channel estimates associated with reception of the UL stream. A noise covariance is generated using the DMRS. Beamforming weights are determined using the channel estimate matrix and the noise covariance. Beamforming is performed on UL data corresponding to the UL stream to generate beamformed data streams. The beamforming is based on applying the beamforming weights to the UL data.
