Abstract:
Precoding for multiple transmission streams in multiple antenna systems. Disclosed herein is a general method that transmits signal from multiple antennas using a one/two dimensional precoder. This precoder is fixed in a given resource block (RB) or slot, which is composed of P subcarriers and Q OFDM symbols (where the values for P and Q are greater than or equal to 1). The precoder in each resource block may take same or different values, which span the two dimensional time-frequency grid. The precoder is chosen as a function of either logical frequency index or physical frequency index of the RB.
Abstract:
A communication network comprising of at least one remote base station; and a plurality of antenna ports connected to the at least one remote base station; wherein the remote base station controls the plurality of antenna ports. The remote base station is configured for defining mutually exclusive entry and exit points for the antenna ports in at least one of time; or frequency. Also, disclosed herein is a communication network comprising of at least one network controller and at least one base station, wherein the network controller is configured for assigning entry and exit points for each base station.
