Abstract
Facilitating generic feedback to enable reciprocity and over the air calibration for advanced networks (e.g., 4G, 5G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a system can comprise selecting information to include in a channel state information feedback report based on a feedback instance. The operations can also comprise generating the channel state information feedback report as a function of channel statistics of channels. Further, the operations can comprise transmitting the channel state information feedback report to a network device of a communications network.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- selecting information to include in a channel state information feedback report based on a feedback instance;
- generating the channel state information feedback report as a function of channel statistics of channels;
- and
- transmitting the channel state information feedback report to a network device of a communications network.
A method, comprising:
- selecting, by a mobile device comprising a processor, channel state information for inclusion in a feedback report based on a request for the feedback report, wherein the request is received from a network device of a communications network, and wherein the channel state information is selected based on conditions at the mobile device at a time when the request was received;
- generating, by the mobile device, the feedback report with selected channel state information;
- and
- facilitating, by the mobile device, transmitting the feedback report to the network device in response to the request.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- based on a request for a report received from a network device of a communications network, selecting a format for the report comprising channel state information;
- defining a feedback container to send to the network device, wherein the feedback container carries channel state information;
- generating the report based on channel statistics currently available and the feedback container;
- and
- sending the report to the network device in response to the request.
