LAYER SHIFTING FOR UPLINK MIMO

摘要

Wireless communications methods and related apparatuses are provided. The methods include analyzing a report or a channel quality indicator in a multiple-in-multiple-out (MIMO) wireless communications system. In one aspect, the methods include determining whether layer shifting should be employed in view of the report or channel quality indicator. The methods also include enabling or disabling layer shifting in an uplink communication based on the report or the channel quality indicator.
