Transmission modes and signaling for uplink mimo support or single tb dual-layer transmission in lte uplink

Abstract

A method of wireless communication includes determining a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI) value and a second PMI value, the first PMI value indicating a first matrix W1 of a first codebook C1, the second PMI value indicating a second matrix W2 of a second codebook C2, wherein the first matrix W1 and the second matrix W2 together define a precoding matrix W for multi-antenna transmission. The method also includes transmitting the first PMI value at a first periodicity, and transmitting the second PMI value at a second periodicity shorter than the first periodicity. In some examples, the method also includes transmitting a rank indicator (RI) value, where the first PMI value and the second PMI value are determined based on the RI value.
