CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION CONCATENATION AND ANTENNA PORT MEASUREMENT
Herein described are apparatuses, systems, and methods for measurement and reporting of channel state information within wireless network systems. In embodiments, an apparatus for a user equipment (UE) may include memory to store a rank indicator (RI), a precoding matrix index (PMI), and a channel quality indicator (CQI) of channel state information (CSI) for the UE. The apparatus may further include circuitry to concatenate the RI, the PMI, and the CQI to produce a concatenated CSI element, generate a CSI report that includes the concatenated CSI element, and cause the CSI report to be transmitted to a base station within a single slot. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Mitigation of transmission errors of quantized channel state information feedback in multi antenna systems
Methods are disclosed for improving communications on feedback transmission channels, in which there is a possibility of bit errors. The basic solutions to counter those errors are: proper design of the CSI vector quantizer indexing (i.e., the bit representation of centroid indices) in order to minimize impact of index errors, use of error detection techniques to expurgate the erroneous indices and use of other methods to recover correct indices.

Communication method and system in wireless communication system using beamforming scheme
A transmission method for communication by a transmission apparatus of a wireless communication system performing wireless communication in a beamforming scheme is disclosed. The method may include assigning identifiers to all transmission beam directions in which transmission is possible and transmitting a reference signal with a beam identifier assigned in each direction, when identifier information of a beam direction, which allows reception from a reception apparatus, and error detection information are received, examining the error detection information to examine whether an error exists, and transmitting a response signal to the reception apparatus according to whether the examined error exists, and transmitting and receiving data on the basis of the received beam information when the error does not exist, as a result of the examination of the error detection information.
Amplitude and phase calibration at a transmitter chip in an antenna array
Select, from transmit paths within the transmitter chip, a first transmit path for a first transmit signal and a second transmit path for a second transmit signal. The transmit paths are associated with a plurality of antenna elements of an antenna array. Determine of an added signal and/or a subtracted signal associated with the first transmit signal and the second transmit signal. Determine at least one of a first signal strength value of the added signal or a second signal strength value of the subtracted signal. Adjust a first signal parameter of the second transmit signal relative to a corresponding first signal parameter of the first transmit signal until the first signal strength value is a first value or the second signal strength value is a second value. Calibrate an offset of the corresponding first signal parameter based on the adjusted first signal parameter in the second transmit path.
Systems and methods for performing implicit sounding in multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) systems
Embodiments described herein provide a method for performing beamforming in a multiple-user-multiple-input-multiple-output (MUMIMO) system. At a MUMIMO access point, MUMIMO data may be received from a station of a plurality of stations. Uplink channel state information may be obtained, from the MUMIMO data, representing an uplink channel between the station and the MUMIMO access point. The uplink channel includes signals transmitted from the station using the second number of antennas. Downlink channel state information may be computed, based on the uplink channel state information, representing a downlink channel between the MUMIMO access point and the station.
