Systems and methods disclosed herein use channel state information (CSI) reports from a user equipment (UE) having additional CSI beyond CSI directly derived according to a current MIMO configuration between a base station and the UE. In some embodiments, a channel quality indicator (CQI) according to a selected layer of a plurality of layers used to receive the MIMO transmission as determined relative to the MIMO transmission is reported. In some embodiments, a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) according to a selected layer of a plurality of layers useable to receive rank 1 transmissions is reported along with a CQI determined according to that layer, or according to a layer used to receive the MIMO transmission as determined relative to the MIMO transmission. In some embodiments, a base station configures a UE to report more fulsome CSI according to each of a plurality of ranks.

An arrangement is disclosed where in a multi-carrier communication system, the modulation scheme, coding attributes, training pilots, and signal power may be adjusted to adapt to channel conditions in order to maximize the overall system capacity and spectral efficiency without wasting radio resources or compromising error probability performance, etc.

Methods and apparatus for baseband signal compression of fifth generation new radio downlink signals. In an embodiment, a method includes receiving compressed packets over a transmission medium from a central office that performs a first portion of baseband processing to generate the compressed packets from downlink data, receiving configuration parameters, performing a second portion of baseband processing to decompress the compressed packets using the configuration parameters to generate the downlink data, and transmitting the downlink data. An apparatus includes an interface that receives compressed packets and configuration parameters over a transmission medium from a central office that includes a first baseband processing section that generate the compressed packets from downlink data. The apparatus also includes a second baseband processing section that decompresses the compressed packets using the configuration parameters to extract the downlink data, and a radio frequency (RF) interface that transmits the downlink data.

Channel state information (CSI) is reduced for a multi input multi output (MIMO) channel, in which feeding back a part of the CSI matrix is sufficient to align interference in a MIMO network. A feedback dimension quantifies a cost of the CSI feedback of the interference in the MIMO network. A feedback profile is determined that achieves a tradeoff between degrees of freedom, antenna resources and the cost of the feedback. The feedback profile parameterizes a feedback function, which determines how the CSI matrices are fed back to the transmitter. The precoders of the network are adaptive to only the partial CSI knowledge at the transmitter.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink control information (DCI) block including DCI for a set of transport blocks scheduled for the UE, the DCI including a set of fields. The UE may decode the DCI block to obtain the DCI for the set of transport blocks, where at least two fields of the downlink control information are jointly decoded according to an encoding scheme, and where each possible output of the encoding scheme corresponds to a jointly valid combination of the at least two fields. The UE may receive the set of transport blocks from a base station based on the DCI.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine at least one of: a first number of coefficients to be included in a first set of coefficients in a transfer domain that characterize compressed channel state information (CSI) for a first layer, or a first quantization scheme to be used to interpret the first set of coefficients. The UE may determine at least one of: a second number of coefficients to be included in a second set of coefficients in the transfer domain that characterize the compressed CSI for a second layer, or a second quantization scheme to be used to interpret the second set of coefficients. The UE may transmit a report that identifies the first set of coefficients and the second set of coefficients based at least in part on the determination(s). Other aspects are provided.

A method and terminal for feeding back channel state information are applied to a 4-antenna system. The method includes: a terminal acquiring channel state information, the terminal performing joint encoding on PMI1 information and RI information into a 4-bit or 5-bit feedback report, or, performing joint encoding on PMI1 information and PMI2 information into a 4-bit feedback report, or, the PMI2 information using 2-bit feedback; and the terminal feeding back the feedback report in a physical uplink control channel.

A flexible and efficient physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signaling scheme that schedules physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission over multiple subframes with Hybrid Automatic Retransmission (HARQ) support is proposed. The PDCCH has a downlink control information (DCI) format that schedules PUSCH transmission over multiple subframes. The PUSCH transmission is associated with multiple HARQ processes with non-consecutive HARQ process IDs. Furthermore, the DCI format uses joint signaling to combine HARQ process indexes, new data indication (NDI), and redundancy version (RV) to reduce signaling overhead.

A system and method are described for adjusting communication with a first distributed-input-distributed-output (DIDO) client as the first DIDO client moves from a first DIDO cluster to a second DIDO cluster: For example, in one embodiment of the system and method, different signal strength thresholds are specified and either conventional DIDO precoding and/or DIDO precoding with inter-DIDO-cluster interference (IDCI) cancellation to avoid RF interference at the DIDO client are employed based on measured signal strengths from a main DIDO cluster and an interfering DIDO cluster.

Method and apparatus for conveying feedback reports from a data receiving party (300) for data received from a data sending party (302) in a wireless connection. A plurality of feedback resources (304) assigned to different feedback information codes are allocated to the data receiving party for transmitting feedback reports. After checking whether the data was received correctly or not, the data receiving party selects a feedback resource (FR2) with a feedback information code that corresponds to one or more feedback reports on the received data. The data receiving party then sends feedback information on the selected feedback resource to the data sending party, thereby conveying the corresponding feedback information code. In this way, multiple feedback reports can be conveyed in a single feedback resource to the data sending party while still retaining single carrier properties.
