Abstract
Methods are disclosed for improving communications on feedback transmission channels, in which there is a possibility of bit errors. The basic solutions to counter those errors are: proper design of the CSI vector quantizer indexing (i.e., the bit representation of centroid indices) in order to minimize impact of index errors, use of error detection techniques to expurgate the erroneous indices and use of other methods to recover correct indices.
Claims12
A wireless device comprising:
- at least one processing device operable to select, based on a channel state of a downlink channel, an index from a plurality of indices, each of the plurality of indices associated with at least one of a plurality of channel states;
- the at least one processing device further operable to produce an encoded sequence based on the index, the encoded sequence comprising a number of symbols, the number of the symbols based on a number of bits available for transmission on an uplink feedback channel;
- a transmitter operable to transmit the encoded sequence on the uplink feedback channel;
- and
- a receiver operable to receive the downlink channel corresponding to the encoded sequence.
