Abstract
One or more scheduling grants may be received from a Node B related to a plurality of uplink MIMO streams. A determination may be made as to a primary transport power and a primary transport block size for a primary stream. A secondary transmit power and a secondary transport block size for a secondary stream may also be determined.
Claims56
A method for communicating using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in a wireless network, comprising:
- receiving one or more scheduling grants from a Node B relating to a plurality of uplink streams in MIMO;
- determining a primary transmit power and a primary transport block size (TBS) for a primary stream of the plurality of uplink streams;
- and
- determining a secondary transmit power and a secondary TBS for a secondary stream of the plurality of uplink streams.
An apparatus for communicating using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in a wireless network, comprising:
- means for receiving one or more scheduling grants from a Node B relating to a plurality of uplink streams in MIMO;
- means for determining a primary transmit power and a primary transport block size (TBS) for a primary stream of the plurality of uplink streams;
- and
- means for determining a secondary transmit power and a secondary TBS for a secondary stream of the plurality of uplink streams.
A computer-readable medium for communicating using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in a wireless network comprising code for causing a computer to:
- receive one or more scheduling grants from a Node B relating to a plurality of uplink streams in MIMO;
- determine a primary transmit power and a primary transport block size (TBS) for a primary stream of the plurality of uplink streams;
- and
- determine a secondary transmit power and a secondary TBS for a secondary stream of the plurality of uplink streams.
An apparatus for communicating using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in a wireless network, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive one or more scheduling grants from a Node B relating to a plurality of uplink streams in MIMO;
- determine a primary transmit power and a primary transport block size (TBS) for a primary stream of the plurality of uplink streams;
- and
- determine a secondary transmit power and a secondary TBS for a secondary stream of the plurality of uplink streams.
