    摘要: A technique for transmitting on a multiple-input channel from a transmitting device to at least one receiving device is described. As to a method of the technique, a quality of a channel estimate of the multiple-input channel from the transmitting device to the at least one receiving device is determined. A transmission on the multiple-input channel from the transmitting device to the at least one receiving device is performed. The transmission is spatially precoded using at least one precoder determined out of a set of precoders. A size of the set of precoders is an increasing or non-decreasing function of the determined quality of the channel estimate.

    摘要: A channel matrix representing characteristics of a multi-path channel between a transmitter device (210) equipped with multiple transmitter antennas (211, 212, 213, 214, 215) and a receiver device (220, 230, 240) equipped with multiple receiver antennas (221, 222, 231, 232, 241, 242) is determined. The channel matrix is organized in a first number of channel vectors each associated with a different one of the multiple receiver antennas (221, 222, 231, 232, 241, 242). The channel vectors are combined to a smaller second number of linear combinations of the channel vectors and a reduced channel matrix is composed from the linear combinations of the channel vectors. A precoding matrix is determined based on the reduced channel matrix, and multi-antenna transmission by the transmitter device is controlled based on the determined precoding matrix.

    摘要: A method of operating a user equipment comprises addressing multi-subcarrier system resources using multiple different numerologies available within a single carrier, the multiple different numerologies comprising a first numerology having resource blocks (RBs) with a first bandwidth and a first subcarrier spacing, Δf1, and a second numerology having RBs with a second bandwidth and a second subcarrier spacing, Δf2, which is different from Δf1, wherein the first numerology is aligned in the frequency domain relative to a frequency reference, Fref, according to m*Δf1+Fref and the second numerology is aligned in the frequency domain relative to the frequency reference, Fref, according to n*Δf2+Fref, where m and n are integers. The method further comprises transmitting and/or receiving information within the single carrier according to the at least one of the multiple different numerologies.
