Abstract
A mobile station transmits to a base station a plurality of pre-coding indicators using respective feedback schemes of a plurality of kinds of feedback schemes that can be set simultaneously by the base station. The mobile station receives from the base station a downlink signal on which pre-coders corresponding to one of the transmitted pre-coding indicators have been applied, and a pre-coder confirmation representing whether the corresponding pre-coders have been applied. The pre-coders represented by the pre-coder confirmation are associated with one of the plural feedback schemes.
Claims8
A base station apparatus comprising:
- receiving circuitry configured to receive, on a physical uplink shared channel from a mobile station apparatus, one or more pre-coding indicators reported using a periodic report or an aperiodic report, each pre-coding indicator indicating a pre-coding to be performed on a downlink signal to be transmitted to the mobile station apparatus;
- and
- transmitting circuitry configured to transmit, to the mobile station apparatus in response to receiving the one or more pre-coding indicators, the downlink signal on a physical downlink control channel, wherein
- for a case that a first pre-coding indicator most recently received among the one or more pre-coding indicators has been reported using the aperiodic report, the downlink signal includes a pre-coder confirmation indicating that the first pre-coding indicator has been used to pre-code the downlink signal, and
- for a case that the first pre-coding indicator has been reported using the periodic report, the downlink signal includes, instead of the pre-coder confirmation, pre-coding information indicating which one of the one or more pre-coding indicators has been used to pre-code the downlink signal.
