Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, a mobile station, which carries out communication using a plurality of antenna ports, includes a receiving section configured to receive, from a radio base station, first-amount information that indicates a number of antenna ports in a first dimension, and second-amount information that indicates a number of antenna ports in a second dimension; and a transmitting section configured to transmit, to the radio base station, a precoding matrix codebook index that is obtained using the first-amount information and/or the second-amount information. Accordingly, a mobile station, a radio base station and a radio communication method can be provided in which a precoding matrix for a two-dimensional antenna array can be generated with flexibility.

Claims (22)

1. A mobile station, which carries out communication using a plurality of antenna ports, the mobile station comprising:

a receiving section configured to receive, from a radio base station, first-amount information that indicates a number of antenna ports in a first dimension, and second-amount information that indicates a number of antenna ports in a second dimension; and

a transmitting section configured to transmit, to the radio base station, a precoding matrix codebook index that is obtained using the first-amount information and/or the second-amount information,

wherein the receiving section receives first sampling rate information that indicates a sampling rate of a beam transmitted in the first dimension, and second sampling rate information that indicates a sampling rate of a beam transmitted in the second dimension, and

wherein the precoding matrix codebook index is obtained using the first sampling rate information and/or the second sampling rate information, in addition to using the first-amount information and/or the second-amount information.

2. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitting section transmits a first precoding matrix codebook index that corresponds to the first dimension, a second precoding matrix codebook index that corresponds to the second dimension, and a third precoding matrix codebook index.

3. The mobile station according to claim 2 , wherein the first precoding matrix codebook index is a horizontal precoding matrix codebook index,

wherein the second precoding matrix codebook index is a vertical precoding matrix codebook index, and

wherein the third precoding matrix codebook index is a polarization precoding matrix codebook index.

4. The mobile station according to claim 2 , wherein the receiving section selectively receives at least one beam out of a plurality of beams, with which transmission is possible with the radio base station.

5. The mobile station according to claim 2 , wherein the first dimension is a horizontal dimension of an antenna array of the radio base station, and the second dimension is a vertical dimension of an antenna array of the radio base station.

6. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving section selectively receives at least one beam out of a plurality of beams, with which transmission is possible with the radio base station.

7. The mobile station according to claim 6 , wherein the first dimension is a horizontal dimension of an antenna array of the radio base station, and the second dimension is a vertical dimension of an antenna array of the radio base station.

8. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the first dimension is a horizontal dimension of an antenna array of the radio base station, and the second dimension is a vertical dimension of an antenna array of the radio base station.

9. A radio base station, which carries out communication with a mobile station using a plurality of antenna ports, the radio base station comprising:

a transmitting section configured to transmit, to the mobile station, first-amount information that indicates a number of antenna ports in a first dimension, second-amount information that indicates a number of antenna ports in a second dimension, first sampling rate information that indicates a sampling rate of a beam transmitted in the first dimension, and second sampling rate information that indicates a sampling rate of a beam transmitted in the second dimension; and

a receiving section configured to receive, from the mobile station, a precoding matrix codebook index that is obtained by the mobile station using the first-amount information and/or the second-amount information and the first sampling rate information and/or the second sampling rate information.

10. A radio communication method of a mobile station which carries out communication using a plurality of antenna ports, the radio communication method comprising:

receiving, from a radio base station, first-amount information that indicates a number of antenna ports in a first dimension, and second-amount information that indicates a number of antenna ports in a second dimension; and

transmitting, to the radio base station, a precoding matrix codebook index that is obtained using the first-amount information and/or the second-amount information,

wherein the mobile station receives first sampling rate information that indicates a sampling rate of a beam transmitted in the first dimension, and second sampling rate information that indicates a sampling rate of a beam transmitted in the second dimension, and

wherein the precoding matrix codebook index is obtained using the first sampling rate information and/or the second sampling rate information, in addition to using the first-amount information and/or the second-amount information.
