Abstract:
In prior art, selection of precoding granularity is affected by two inter-restricting factors, i.e., precoding accuracy and channel estimation at a mobile terminal. To solve this problem, the present invention provides a method of maintaining coherency of a precoding channel in a communication network and an associated apparatus. During precoding, this method takes into account both channel coherency and system capacity. A base station adjusts phase and/or amplitude of a precoding matrix corresponding to each precoded unit to maintain coherency of associated information of the overall precoding channel. The associated information of the precoding channel includes, for example, CSI or eigenvalue matrix of the precoding channel. Afterwards, a mobile terminal performs channel estimation based on reference signals of multiple precoded units, thereby eliminating the limitation in prior art that a mobile terminal can perform channel estimation only within one or more resource block limited by a precoding granularity.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided herein to estimate channel information based a received burst that is comprises of consecutive transmissions. Each transmission comprises a plurality of data subcarriers and a plurality of pilot subcarriers on a radio frequency (RF) channel, wherein locations of the pilot subcarriers in the consecutive transmissions are different. Channel information at the pilot subcarriers is computed for each transmission in the burst. A time variation parameter and a frequency variation parameter of the channel for the burst are computed using the channel information at the pilot subcarriers for the transmissions in the burst. Channel information for at least one data subcarrier of a transmission in the burst is computed by interpolation and/or extrapolation of the channel information at the pilot subcarriers using the time variation parameter and the frequency variation parameter. The channel information for the remaining data subcarriers is computed by interpolation and/or extrapolation using the estimated channel information at the pilot subcarriers and the at least one data subcarrier.
Abstract:
A radio user equipment (UE) mobility status is determined in a communications node. UE mobility status measurements associated with the UE communicating over a radio channel are performed. The UE mobility status corresponds to a degree of variation of the radio channel over time. Channel characteristics of the radio channel at a first time and at a second later time are determined. Based on the determined channel characteristics, a channel characteristic error metric is determined and compared to a predetermined threshold. The UE mobility status is determined based on one or more iterations of the threshold comparison.

Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for achieving adaptive channel state information (CSI) feedback rate in multi-user communication systems. A rate by which CSI feedback can be transmitted from each user station of a wireless system to a serving access point may be adjusted based on evolution of a channel between that user station and the access point.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are proposed for supporting one or more user-dependent channel state information (CSI) feedback rates in a downlink spatial division multiple access (SDMA) system. For certain aspects, an access point (AP) may receive a channel evolution feedback from one or more stations and send a request for CSI to the stations whose CSI values need to be updated. For certain aspects, the AP may poll the stations for updated CSI values. For certain aspects, deterministic back-off timers may be assigned to the stations indicating when to send their CSI feedback. The proposed methods may improve system performance.
