Abstract
A method for indicating a precoding granularity value. The method includes an access node performing at least one of dynamically signaling the precoding granularity value in downlink control information, semi-statically signaling the precoding granularity value through high-layer signaling, and implicitly signaling the precoding granularity value through a link with at least one parameter that the access node transmits for another purpose.
Claims25
A method for indicating a precoding granularity value, comprising:
- an access node performing at least one of:
- dynamically signaling the precoding granularity value in downlink control information (DCI),
- semi-statically signaling the precoding granularity value through high-layer signaling, and
- implicitly signaling the precoding granularity value through a link with at least one parameter that the access node transmits for another purpose.
An access node in a wireless telecommunications system, comprising:
- a processor configured such that the access node performs at least one of:
- dynamically signaling a precoding granularity value in downlink control information (DCI),
- semi-statically signaling the precoding granularity value through high-layer signaling, and
- implicitly signaling the precoding granularity value through a link with at least one parameter that the access node transmits for another purpose.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a processor configured such that the UE receives at least one of:
- dynamic signaling of a precoding granularity value in downlink control information (DCI),
- semi-static signaling of the precoding granularity value through high-layer signaling, and
- implicit signaling of the precoding granularity value through a link with at least one parameter that was transmitted for another purpose.
