Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for constructing a codebook. The method comprises: receiving grouping information on a plurality of transmit antennas of a base station; obtaining a channel model for a channel between a mobile terminal and the base station; and determining an optimal precoding matrix corresponding to each antenna group according to the grouping information and the channel model, so as to construct a codebook used for precoding. The present invention further discloses a method and apparatus for selecting a precoding matrix, as well as a method, apparatus and system for precoding.

Claims (10)

1. A method of constructing a codebook for use in a wireless communications system, comprising:

providing grouping information consisting of one or more antenna groups which each include at least one transmit antenna of a base station, and a channel model for a channel between a mobile terminal and the base station;

determining an optimal precoding matrix corresponding to each of the one or more antenna group, so as to construct a codebook used for precoding, wherein the determining comprises

calculating, according to the grouping information and the channel model, a precoding matrix that makes a Chordal distance, a projection two-norm distance or a Fubini-Study distance be minimum; and

determining the precoding matrix that makes the distance be minimum as the optimal precoding matrix.

2. A method of determining an optimal precoding matrix for use in a wireless communications system, comprising:

providing grouping information consisting of one or more antenna groups which each include at least one transmit antenna of a base station, and a channel model for a channel between a mobile terminal and the base station;

determining the optimal precoding matrix corresponding to each of the one or more antenna group, wherein the determining comprises

calculating, according to the grouping information and the channel model, a precoding matrix that makes a Chordal distance, a projection two-norm distance or a Fubini-Study distance be minimum; and

determining the precoding matrix that makes the distance be minimum as the optimal precoding matrix.
