RESOLVING CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION OUTDATING

摘要

It is described a method of operating a base station (104a-c] and a base station (104a-c) which uses a communication channel (120a-f) depending on channel state related information (108a-c) and time information (122a-c), e.g. a prediction time. In this way, problems due to outdating of the channel state related information (108a-c) may be overcome and a feedback overhead may be reduced. According to other embodiments, other parameters like a used prediction method, a prediction horizon, etc. are used to provide a better scenario adaption. Other embodiments relate to combined long term prediction and short term prediction and respective timing settings. Other embodiments relate to a method of operating a user equipment (112a-b) and a user equipment (112a-b) which is adapted for communicating the required time information between the base station (104a-c) and the user equipment (112a-b).
