Abstract

A method and system for selecting precoding matrix index are herein disclosed. The method includes determining a precoder and candidate beams, selecting base beams based on a correlation power between the determined precoder and determined candidate beams, and estimating amplitude coefficients and cophase coefficients based on a correlation between the determined precoder and the selected base beams.

determining a precoder and candidate beams;

selecting base beams based on a correlation power between the determined precoder and determined candidate beams; and
