PMI-BASED DATA BEAM NULLING WITH A CSI REPORT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806068 titled 'PMI-BASED DATA BEAM NULLING WITH A CSI REPORT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes apparatuses and methods for using precoding matrix indicator (PMI)-based data beam nulling with a channel state information (CSI) report in wireless communication systems.

  • The apparatus includes a transceiver and a processor.
  • The processor identifies restricted PMI beams in a nulling direction for supported ranks.
  • The apparatus receives a CSI report from a user equipment (UE), which includes information about the rank, PMI, and channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback.
  • The processor determines whether the reported PMI is restricted.
  • If the reported PMI is restricted, the processor selects an alternative PMI from a number of unrestricted PMIs for the reported rank.
  • If a reduced transmit power is configured, the processor boosts the reported CQI.
  • The processor selects a modulation coding scheme (MCS) and generates a precoder for a data beam based on the CSI report, the alternative PMI, and the boosted CQI.

Potential Applications

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Cellular networks
  • 5G networks

Problems Solved

  • Efficient utilization of precoding matrix indicator (PMI)-based data beam nulling
  • Handling restricted PMI beams in a nulling direction
  • Improving channel state information (CSI) reporting and feedback

Benefits

  • Improved wireless communication performance
  • Enhanced data transmission efficiency
  • Better utilization of available resources
  • Increased system capacity and throughput


Original Abstract Submitted

Apparatuses and methods for precoding matrix indicator (PMI)-based data beam nulling with a channel state information (CSI) report. An apparatus includes a transceiver configured to communicate via a wired or wireless communication medium and a processor coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to identify restricted PMI beams in a nulling direction for supported ranks; receive, via the transceiver from a user equipment (UE), a CSI report including a rank, a PMI, and channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback; and determine whether the reported PMI is restricted. The processor is further configured to select an alternative PMI among a number of unrestricted PMIs for the reported rank; boost a reported CQI if a reduced transmit power is configured; and select a modulation coding scheme (MCS) and generate a precoder for a data beam based on at least one of: the CSI report, the alternative PMI, and the boosted CQI.
