Method and apparatus for selection of linear combination coefficients for precoding in frequency-selective channels

Abstract

The disclosure provides a method of providing implicit channel state information (CSI) feedback from a user equipment (UE). The method includes determining a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) selection decision metric, selecting one of a sub-band (SB) linear combination coefficient (LCC) selection method, a wideband (WB) LCC selection method, or a sub-band group (SBG) LCC selection method, based on the determined PMI selection decision metric, determining, using the selected LCC selection method, PMI indices based on sub-bands configured by a base station, and transmitting the determined PMI indices to the base station.
