Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information that indicates a transmit precoding matrix indicator, that identifies a precoding matrix, and a set of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna ports. A first association may be between a first set of antenna indices of the precoding matrix, that form a first transmission group, and a first code-division multiplexing (CDM) group of the set of DMRS antenna ports, and a second association may be between a second set of antenna indices of the precoding matrix, that form a second transmission group, and a second CDM group of the set of DMRS antenna ports. The UE may transmit an uplink transmission according to the first association and the second association. Numerous other aspects are provided.

To provide a low latency near RT RIC, some embodiments separate the RIC's functions into several different components that operate on different machines (e.g., execute on VMs or Pods) operating on the same host computer or different host computers. Some embodiments also provide high speed interfaces between these machines. Some or all of these interfaces operate in non-blocking, lockless manner in order to ensure that critical near RT RIC operations (e.g., datapath processes) are not delayed due to multiple requests causing one or more components to stall. In addition, each of these RIC components also has an internal architecture that is designed to operate in a non-blocking manner so that no one process of a component can block the operation of another process of the component. All of these low latency features allow the near RT RIC to serve as a high speed IO between the E2 nodes and the xApps.

A codebook feedback method includes a network device sending a first indication information to a terminal device, wherein the first indication information is used to indicate at least one set of basis vector sets, and the at least one set of basis vector sets includes a frequency domain basis (FD basis) set or a spatial domain-frequency domain-basis (SD-FD-basis) set.

According to one or more embodiments, a network node configured to communicate with a wireless device is provided.

According to one aspect, a network node is configured to, in each of a plurality of successive transmission time periods: transmit to each of a plurality of SPs a corresponding set of channel information; receive from each of the plurality of SPs a service demand and a normalized precoding matrix, the normalized precoding matrix being determined by the corresponding SP based on the corresponding set of channel information; allocate a virtual transmit power to each of the plurality of SPs based at least in part on the received service demands and normalized precoding matrices; and determine a downlink precoding matrix to transmit messages to WDs, the downlink precoder matrix being based at least in part on the received service demands and normalized precoding matrices.

Apparatuses and methods for multi-stage UL precoding are provided. The method includes receiving configuration information about resource allocation for an uplink (UL) transmission, the configuration information indicating: allocated resources for an UL transmission, and UL precoding information for the UL transmission on the allocated resources, wherein the UL precoding information indicates: an update precoding matrix V, and basis vectors and coefficients for the update precoding matrix V; determining an UL precoding matrix for the UL transmission based on the update precoding matrix V and a previous UL precoding matrix; and performing UL transmission on the allocated resources using the UL precoding matrix.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for detecting interference in radio carrier band. A method performed at a network node may comprise: receiving, from a terminal device, a first report about channel state of a first frequency range, and a second report about channel state of a second frequency range; and determining whether the terminal device is interfered in any of the first frequency range or the second frequency range, based on a comparison between the channel state of the first frequency range and the channel state of the second frequency range. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the deterioration of channel state in a frequency range caused by interference may be shown and recognized via the comparison result.

A method for assisting the adaptation of a signal from a first node to a second node is provided. The first node communicates with the second node in a wireless communication system over a radio link. The second node has a codebook comprising a set of possible information alternatives for assisting the adaptation of a signal received from the first node. The second node may select an information alternative from the codebook and send it to the first node to assist the first node in adapting the signal. The first node is configured with a number of subsets, each comprising a part of the possible information alternatives. The first node requests that the second node restrict the selection of information alternatives to one of the subsets, and in response, receives an information alternative from the second node that is selected from among the subsets configured according to the configuration request.

There is provided mechanisms for determining beam settings for beam management. A method is performed by a first radio transceiver device. The method comprises obtaining information about expected distribution of second radio transceiver devices in a network coverage region of the first radio transceiver device in which the beam management is to be performed. The method comprises determining beam settings for a first set of beams and a second set of beams. The first set of beams and the second set of beams are to be used for the beam management. There are fewer beams in the first set of beams than in the second set of beams. The beams in the first set of beams collectively cover all beams in the second set of beams. The beam settings for the beams in the first set of beams are determined according to the obtained information.

Apparatus and methods are provided for port selection codebook configuration. A user equipment (UE) may decode a channel state information (CSI) report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) from a base station. The CSI-ReportConfig indicates up to L CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) ports for selection by the UE out of P CSI-RS ports configured for measuring and reporting CSI. The UE determines selected CSI-RS ports out of the P CSI-RS ports. The selected CSI-RS ports include the L CSI-RS ports or less. The UE generates a port selection matrix W.sub.1 corresponding to the selected CSI-RS ports. The UE also generates an indication of the port selection matrix W.sub.1 to the base station. The CSI-ReportConfig may further configure the UE to select a subset of frequency basis. The UE determines a selected subset of frequency basis and generates a frequency basis selection matrix W.sub.f corresponding to the selected subset of frequency basis.
