METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CALCULATING FEEDBACK INFORMATION FOR 3D MIMO IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method for generating channel state information at a user equipment (UE) for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) based beamforming in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving a first pilot pattern and a second pilot pattern from a base station, selecting a precoding matrix index (PMI) and a rank indicator (RI) for each of the first pilot pattern and the second pilot pattern, configuring the RI for the first pilot pattern as an RI for a three-dimensional (3D) channel, wherein the RI for the first pilot pattern is larger than the RI for the second pilot pattern; and reselecting a PMI of the second pilot pattern on the assumption that the RI of the second pilot pattern is equal to the RI for the 3D channel and the PMI of the first pilot pattern is equal to a preselected PMI.
