ENFORCING CONSTANT MODULUS AND FINITE ALPHABET PROPERTIES IN ADAPTIVE AND DUAL STAGE CODEBOOKS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for enforcing codebook properties (e.g. constant modulus and/or finite alphabet) in adaptive and dual stage codebooks are described. One example method generally includes receiving multiple feedback aspects of a channel for wireless communications determining multiple codewords based on the multiple feedback aspects determining a final precoding matrix based on the multiple codewords enforcing at least one codebook property in at least one of the multiple codewords or the final precoding matrix applying the final precoding matrix to a plurality of spatial streams to form precoded spatial streams and transmitting the precoded spatial streams. For certain aspects enforcing the at least one codebook property includes quantizing elements in each of the multiple codewords and/or the final precoding matrix to the nearest value in a finite alphabet or to increase a performance metric.
