TERMINAL AND RADIO COMMUNICATION METHOD
A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a transmission section that transmits mode 2 capability information indicating that mode 2 of full power transmission is supported; and a control section that, in a case where the mode 2 capability information is transmitted and transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) group capability information regarding a TPMI group is not transmitted, assumes that a number of SRS ports=1 is configured for at least one SRS resource included in a measurement reference signal (sounding reference signal (SRS)) resource set of which usage is a codebook.

Channel State Feedback for a Wireless Link having Phase Relaxed Channels
According to one of the aspects, there is provided a method for providing channel state feedback related to a wireless link between a transmitter having multiple transmit antennas and a receiver having at least one receive antenna. The method comprises determining (S1) channel estimates for at least a subset of the effective channels between the transmitter and the receiver, each effective channel including a propagation channel, and signal paths in the transmitter and the receiver. The method also comprises determining (S2) frequency-independent and/or inter-antenna-independent channel state information associated with phase relaxation of at least the subset of the effective channels based on the channel estimates, and generating (S3) channel state feedback including at least a representation of the frequency-independent and/or inter-antenna-independent channel state information associated with the phase relaxation.

A central node may include a processor configured to empirically compute an approximation of power coefficients based on estimates of the channel coefficients such that a same one of the approximation of the power coefficient is assigned to each of a plurality of access terminals (ATs), and transmit components of a signal vector to associated access points (APs), the signal vector being based on at least the approximation of the power coefficient.
Method and arrangement in a wireless communications system
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.
PORT SELECTION CODEBOOK ENHANCEMENT
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.
Feedback overhead reduction for precoders under high rank spatial channels
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to encode channel state information (CSI), e.g., enhanced type II CSI. A common frequency basis may be selected. Spatial-frequency coefficients, frequency basis related information, and/or spatial basis related information may be determined. At least a portion of the coefficients and/or information may be encoded in a CSI report.
CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION FEEDBACK COMPRESSION
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a first part of a channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the first part includes an indication of whether a value of a second part of the CSI report matches a value of a previous CSI report; and selectively transmit the second part of the CSI report based at least in part on whether the indication indicates that the value of the second part of the CSI report matches the value of the previous CSI report. In some aspects, a UE may determine a modified subband size of the UE, wherein the modified subband size is different than a configured subband size of the UE; and transmit, in a CSI report, an indication regarding the modified subband size to a base station. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Method and user equipment for generating a channel state information feedback report including jointly encoded parameters from multiple layers
A method and user equipment are provided for generating a channel state information feedback report, which has multiple layers, from channel state information associated with each of the multiple layers including at least one parameter, which is commonly present in the channel state information associated with each of the multiple layers. Each commonly present parameter in each of the multiple layers has a respective value. A set of reference signals transmitted from a network entity are received and observed channel characteristics are organized, based on the received set of reference signals, into the multiple layers of channel state information. From the at least one parameter, which is commonly present in each of the multiple layers, selecting one or more parameters from which a respective index value can be derived for each of the multiple layers. The derived respective index values are jointly encoded, and the channel state information feedback report is formulated, which includes the jointly encoded derived index values, and the channel state information of each of the multiple layers, exclusive of the selected one or more parameters from which the respective index value for each of the multiple layers has been derived.
Codebook subset restriction signaling
A network node signals to a wireless communication device which precoders in a codebook are restricted from being used. The network node in this regard generates codebook subset restriction signaling that, for each of one or more groups of precoders, jointly restricts the precoders in the group by restricting a certain component (e.g., a certain beam precoder) that the precoders in the group have in common. This signaling may be for instance rank-agnostic signaling that jointly restricts the precoders in a group without regard to the precoders' transmission rank. Regardless, the network node sends the generated signaling to the wireless communication device.
Network node, user equipment and methods therein to enable the UE to determine a precoder codebook
A method performed by a base station of enabling a User Equipment (UE) to determine a precoder codebook in a wireless communication system is provided. The base station transmits, to the UE, information regarding precoder parameters enabling the UE to determine the precoder codebook. The precoder parameters are associated with a plurality of antenna ports of the base station. The precoder parameters relate to a first dimension and a second dimension of the precoder codebook. The plurality of antenna ports comprises a number of antenna ports that is a function of a number of antenna ports in the first dimension, and a number of antenna ports in the second dimension.
