Abstract

A method implemented in a base station used in a wireless communications system is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, from a user equipment, rank indication (RI), a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI), and a second PMI (codebook index i 2 ), wherein values 0-15 are assigned to the second PMI I PMI2 for RI=1 and values 0-3 are assigned to the second PMI I PMI2 for each of RI=2, RI=3, and RI=4, and wherein codebook index i 2 comprises I PMI2 for RI=1. Other methods, apparatuses, and systems also are disclosed.

Claims (120)

1. A method implemented in a base station used in a wireless communications system, the method comprising:

receiving at the base station, from a user equipment, a rank indication (RI), a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI), and a second PMI (I PMI2 ) associated with a codebook index (i 2 ), for only four antenna ports, and

serving, by the base station, the user equipment based on the i 2 for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) mode of at least one antenna port,

wherein the codebook index i 2 is determined according to a table comprising:

Relationship between the second PMI

value and codebook index i 2

2. A method implemented in a user equipment used in a wireless communications system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station, a rank indication (RI), a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI), and a second PMI (I PMI2 ) associated with a codebook index (i 2 ), for only four antenna ports, and

receiving a signal, from the base station, based on the i 2 for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) mode of at least one antenna port,

3. The method as in claim 2 , wherein the codebook index i 2 is for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) mode 2-1 codebook subsampling in LTE (Long Term Evolution).

4. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the codebook index i 2 is for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) mode 2-1 codebook subsampling in LTE (Long Term Evolution).

5. A method implemented in a wireless communications system, the method comprising:

transmitting, from a user equipment to a base station, a rank indication (RI), a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI), and a second PMI (I PMI2 ) associated with a code book index (i 2 ), for only four antenna ports, and

receiving signals, from the base station, based on the i 2 for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) mode of at least one antenna port,

wherein the codebook index i 2 is determined according to a table comprising:
