Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for a UE to flexibly indicate a preferred precoding resource block group (PRG) size to a base station (e.g., an eNB).
Claims26
A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- determining a preferred precoding resource block group (PRG) size over which the UE can perform channel estimation jointly over all scheduled physical resource blocks (PRBs) within a PRG of that size;
- providing an indication of the preferred PRG size to the base station;
- and
- communicating with a base station in accordance with the preferred PRG size.
A method for wireless communications by a base station (BS), comprising:
- receiving signaling indicating a preferred precoding resource block group (PRG) size over which a user equipment (UE) can perform channel estimation jointly over all scheduled physical resource blocks (PRBs) within a PRG of that size;
- and
- communicating with the UE in accordance with the preferred PRG size.
An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for determining a preferred precoding resource block group (PRG) size over which the UE can perform channel estimation jointly over all scheduled physical resource blocks (PRBs) within a PRG of that size;
- means for providing an indication of the preferred PRG size to the base station;
- and
- means for communicating with a base station in accordance with the preferred PRG size.
