Abstract
The present invention relates to precoding and feedback channel information in wireless communication system. A method includes receiving a first Precoding Matrix Index (PMI) and a second PMI from a terminal; mapping one or two codewords into layers; precoding symbols mapped into the layers using a first precoding matrix derived from the first PMI and a second precoding matrix derived from the second PMI; and transmitting the precoded symbols to the terminal, wherein the reception of the first PMI is less frequent than the reception of the second PMI.
Claims9
A communication method comprising:
- estimating a downlink channel based on a signal received from a base station;
- transmitting a first-type precoding matrix index (PMI) to the base station;
- transmitting a second-type PMI to the base station;
- and
- receiving a downlink signal from the base station,
- wherein transmitting the first-type PMI is periodically performed based on a first period, and transmitting the second-type PMI is periodically performed based on a second period, and
- wherein the first period is multiple of the second period.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory operably coupled to the processor,
- wherein the processor, when executing program instructions stored in the memory, is configured to:
- cause the mobile terminal to estimate a downlink channel based on a signal received from a base station;
- cause the mobile terminal to transmit a first-type precoding matrix index (PMI) to the base station;
- cause the mobile terminal to transmit a second-type PMI to the base station;
- and
- cause the mobile terminal to receive a downlink signal from the base station,
- wherein the processor is further configured to cause the mobile terminal to transmit the first-type PMI periodically based on a first period, and cause the mobile terminal to transmit the second-type PMI periodically based on a second period, and
- wherein the first period is multiple of the second period.
A device for a mobile terminal, the device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory operably coupled to the processor,
- wherein the processor, when executing program instructions stored in the memory, is configured to:
- cause the mobile terminal to estimate a downlink channel based on a signal received from a base station;
- cause the mobile terminal to transmit a first-type precoding matrix index (PMI) to the base station;
- cause the mobile terminal to transmit a second-type PMI to the base station;
- and
- cause the mobile terminal to receive a downlink signal from the base station,
- wherein the processor is further configured to cause the mobile terminal to transmit the first-type PMI periodically based on a first period, and cause the mobile terminal to transmit the second-type PMI periodically based on a second period, and
- wherein the first period is multiple of the second period.
