Compression of tap location information for time domain explicit channel state information feedback in new radio
Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for a user equipment receiving CSI-RS and computing channel support information. Based on the CSI, the UE derives tap locations of channel support, depending on the observed channel and used subcarrier spacing. The deriving can additionally be done in relation to power class and window size. The UE apprises a base station of those tap locations of the channel support and also informs the base station of the strongest tap locations, which can be done in various ways comprising a bit mask. Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for a base station to send CSI-RS to a UE for computing CSI feedback. The CSI-RS resources can be for one or multiple transmit receive points. The base station receives back an indication of tap locations and a bit mask and builds information on tap locations by combining that received indication and bit mask.
COMPRESSION AND DECOMPRESSION OF DELAY PROFILE
In a first method, a wireless device estimates a delay profile of a channel impulse response, CIR, for a channel between a network node and the wireless device, compresses the delay profile using a compression function, and transmits the compressed delay profile. The compression function includes a first function and a quantizer. The first function is configured to receive input data and reduce a dimension of the input data. In a second method, a network node receives a compressed delay profile of CIR for a channel between a network node and a wireless device, decompresses the compressed delay profile using a decompression function, and estimates a position of the wireless device based on at least the decompressed delay profile. The decompression function includes a first function which is configured to receive input data and provide output data in a higher dimensional space than the input data.
