PRECODER ESTIMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18059041 titled 'PRECODER ESTIMATION
Simplified Explanation
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network node, an indication of a slot to be associated with precoder estimation, the indication of the slot including an indication of a first precoder and one or more parameters associated with the slot. The UE may receive, from the network node and during the slot, a first one or more reference signals associated with estimating a physical channel using the first precoder and a second one or more reference signals associated with estimating a second precoder using the estimated physical channel. The UE may receive, from the network node, one or more signals based on the second precoder. Numerous other aspects are described.
- User equipment (UE) receives an indication of a slot for precoder estimation from a network node.
