A method for generating a codebook includes applying a unitary rotation to a baseline multidimensional constellation to produce a multidimensional mother constellation, wherein the unitary rotation is selected to optimize a distance function of the multidimensional mother constellation, and applying a set of operations to the multidimensional mother constellation to produce a set of constellation points. The method also includes storing the set of constellation points as the codebook of the plurality of codebooks.

A method, a codebook, and a Base Station (BS) for precoding are provided. The precoding method includes: obtaining a total uplink power of a User Equipment (UE); if the total uplink power is greater than of a rated total transmit power of antennas, selecting a codeword from a first codebook with imbalanced power between layers; otherwise, selecting a codeword from the first codebook and a second codebook with balanced power between layers, so as for precoding data to be transmitted according to the selected codeword.

The present disclosure provides a terminal device that allows constraints on user allocation to be prevented and spread codes to be allocated in a scheduler when non-adaptive HARQ is employed using a PHICH. A codeword generator generates code words by encoding data, a layer mapping unit places each CW in one or a plurality of layers, a DMRS generator generates a reference signal for each layer in which a CW is placed by using any resource among a plurality of resources defined by a mutually orthogonal plurality of OCCs, and an ACK/NACK demodulator receives a response signal indicating a retransmission request. When a response signal requesting retransmission of only a CW placed in a plurality of layers is received, the DMRS generator uses each resource having the same OCC among the plurality of resources for the reference signals generated in the corresponding layers.

A method of data transmission includes determining the number of layers, generating mapping symbols by mapping modulation symbols for a first codeword and modulation symbols for a second codeword to each layer, and transmitting the mapping symbols through a plurality of antennas. At least one of the first codeword and the second codeword is mapped to at least 3 layers and the number of layers is larger than 3.

An apparatus for mapping data in a wireless communication system. The apparatus includes circuitry for generating a precoding matrix for multi-antenna transmission based on a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) feedback from at least one remote receiver where the PMI indicates a choice of precoding matrix derived from a matrix multiplication of two matrices from a first code book and a second codebook. The apparatus further includes circuitry for precoding one or more layers of a data stream with the precoding matrix and transmitting the precoded layers of data stream to the remote receiver.

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.

Provided are a wireless communication method and related products. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, first data from a network device on a first resource, where the first data includes second data and third data which are jointly coded; performing, by the terminal device, decoding on the received first data to obtain the first data.
