This method of generating precoders is used in optimising transmission capacity between an eNodeB and UEs in a DL MU-MIMO communication system. The method includes the steps of computing correlation values between pairs of precoding matrices (PMs) of the reported precoding matrix indicators (PMIs) (step 40), selecting a PM pair having a minimum correlation value (step 42). If the minimum correlation value is less than a lower threshold Tmin, the method uses a PM corresponding to the received PMI (step 44). If the minimum correlation value is greater than Tmin and less than an upper threshold Tmax, the method includes the steps of computing correlation values of the reported PMI and Channel Matrices (CMs) from a fixed codebook of representative CMs (step 48), selecting a CM pair having a maximum correlation value (step 52), and computing precoders from the selected CM pair (step 54). |
