Base station apparatus and transmission method

摘要

The present disclosure provides a method of generating codebook in a wireless communication system with multiple antenna arrays, as well as a wireless communication system, base station and terminal using the codebook for communication. The method comprises steps of: providing a basic codebook which contains multiple pre-coding matrices; and assigning phase offsets to certain pre-coding matrices in the basic codebook to form a codebook with phase offset. The feedback overhead from a client to a base station side is reduced and a good precision of feedback for multi-antenna array is kept by applying the method of generating codebook and using the generated codebook in the wireless communication system, base station and terminal.

主权项

1. A base station apparatus comprising:
a codebook storing section configured to store an extended codebook which is generated by combining a first basic codebook and a second basic codebook along the column direction, wherein the first basic codebook includes N groups, each consisting of four basic pre-coding matrices that are orthogonal to each other (N is a natural number equal to or larger than 2), and wherein the second basic codebook is generated by applying phase offsets to the N groups respectively, each of the phase offsets applied to the N groups being different from each other; a receiving section configured to receive information including an index (a pre-coding matrix indicator (PMI)) for identifying one pre-coding matrix from among the 4N pre-coding matrices included in the extended codebook, from a terminal apparatus; and a transmitting section configured to pre-code data using a pre-coding matrix corresponding to the PMI included in the received information and to transmit the pre-coded data to the terminal apparatus.
