A method is disclosed that includes accessing baseband information for a number, N (N>1), of antennas accessible by a number of baseband units, where the baseband information correspond to a transmission by a user equipment and is received at the N antennas. The method includes determining values for one or more metrics for the baseband information for the N antennas. The method includes selecting, based on the determined values, a subset k of the N antennas and corresponding baseband information to use to determine output data for the transmission by the user equipment. The method includes determining the output data for the user equipment using the baseband information from the k antennas. Apparatus and computer program products are also disclosed.
A method, comprising:
An apparatus, comprising:
The apparatus of any of the preceding apparatus claims, wherein the baseband information comprises (I, Q) information.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
