Precoding and feedback channel information in wireless communication system
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to precoding and feedback channel information in wireless communication system. A method includes receiving a first Precoding Matrix Index (PMI) and a second PMI from a terminal; mapping one or two codewords into layers; precoding symbols mapped into the layers using a first precoding matrix derived from the first PMI and a second precoding matrix derived from the second PMI; and transmitting the precoded symbols to the terminal, wherein the reception of the first PMI is less frequent than the reception of the second PMI.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a first Precoding Matrix Index (PMI) and a second PMI from a terminal;
mapping one or two codewords into layers;
precoding symbols mapped into the layers using a first precoding matrix derived from the first PMI and a second precoding matrix derived from the second PMI; and
transmitting the precoded symbols to the terminal,
wherein the reception of the first PMI is less frequent than the reception of the second PMI.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the precoding of the symbols includes multiplying the symbols by the first precoding matrix and the second precoding matrix.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first precoding matrix is used for a rank adaptation.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first precoding matrix is used for a power allocation.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reception of the first PMI is based on a long term feedback and the reception of the second PMI is based on a short term feedback.
6. A method, comprising:
estimating a downlink channel from a signal received from a base station;
transmitting a first Precoding Matrix Index (PMI) for a first precoding matrix to the base station;
transmitting a second PMI for a second precoding matrix to the base station through; and
receiving, from the base station, a signal for precoded data symbols, the precoded data symbols being mapped into layers based on the first precoding matrix derived from the first PMI and the second precoding matrix derived from the second PMI,
wherein the transmission of the first PMI is less frequent than the transmission of the second PMI.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first precoding matrix is used for a rank adaptation.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first precoding matrix is used for a power allocation.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the transmission of the first PMI is based on a long term feedback and the transmission of the second PMI is based on a short term feedback.
10. A base station executing the method of claim 1 .
11. A mobile terminal executing the method of claim 6 .
