BEAMSPACE COMPRESSION IN AN OPEN-RADIO ACCESS NETWORK

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18695447 titled 'BEAMSPACE COMPRESSION IN AN OPEN-RADIO ACCESS NETWORK

Original Abstract Submitted

A first network entity of a communications network can generate compressed beamforming weights (“BFWs”) based on a transformation configuration. The transformation configuration can be based on one or more parameters of an antenna array associated with a second network entity of the communications network. The one or more parameters can include a parameter that is separate from a total number of antenna ports in the antenna array. The first network entity can further transmit an indication of the compressed BFWs to the second network entity via a fronthaul between the first network entity and the second network entity.
