Abstract:
A method for a base station to configure a channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) is provided. The base station configures a CSI-RS antenna port for a terminal. The base station selects one of at least one port number mapping rule for mapping a port number on the CSI-RS antenna port for the terminal. The base station notifies the terminal of the selected port number mapping rule.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a terminal and an operation method thereof in a MIMO system. The terminal may use a reference signal for channel state measurement from a base station to calculate a first value that is a ratio of a signal transmitted from the base station to noise and a second value that is a ratio of interference from the base station and the noise. Further, the terminal may generate bit information by comparing a ratio of the second value and the first value with a predetermined threshold value and feedback the first value and the bit information to the base station.
Abstract:
The transmitter maps an antenna port to a logical antenna port through a first virtualization. The transmitter maps the logical antenna port to a transceiver unit (TXRU) through a first operation. The transmitter maps the TXRU to a logical TXRU through a second operation. The transmitter maps the logical TXRU to a physical antenna element through a second virtualization.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a signal for channel estimation through a plurality of antennas are provided. A plurality of resources that are adjacent to each other in a time axis and a frequency axis are selected from among a set of resources that include a symbol in the time axis and a subcarrier in the frequency axis. Reference signals for the plurality of antennas are transmitted through the selected plurality of resources.
Abstract:
A method for receiving a reference signal including receiving a configuration about a subband from the base station through a higher layer signaling, wherein the RS is allocated to the subband; and receiving a subframe including a reference signal resource allocated by a unit of the subband, and an apparatus are provided.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for communication in millimeter wave multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication are provided. A beamforming matrix by groups for terminals that are classified into a group is generated, and a pilot signal that is beam-formed based on the generated beamforming matrix by groups is transmitted to the terminals. Channel information based on the pilot signal is received from the terminals, hybrid beamforming scheduling is performed based on the channel information, and data is transmitted to the terminals based on the scheduling.
