CLOSED-LOOP FEEDBACK DURING INITIAL RANGING PROCEDURE

摘要

During operation, the choice of the initial ranging code (sometimes referred to as a ranging preamble code, or a random-access preamble) at the mobile station is associated with a PMI feedback to be signaled to the base station during the initial ranging. More particularly, during initial system access a ranging code is transmitted by the mobile station to the base station. The mobile station chooses one of the available ranging codes based on the channel conditions and associates the ranging code with channel feedback information. The ranging code is then transmitted to the base station, and provides the base station with the channel feedback information.
