MINIMIZING FEEDBACK BY SENDING A QUALITY INDICATOR FOR A NON-RESTRICTIVE REUSE SET AND A VECTORED QUALITY INDICATOR FOR OTHER REUSE SETS

摘要

The scheduler in a base station needs CQI information from a terminal for all reuse sets every 5 ms. to decide on which re-use set to schedule a given terminal. For MIMO users, the problem is that the CQI cannot be reconstructed for all reuse sets, using the current design. Solution: (1) For Multiple Code Word MIMO users, a MIMO VCQI connection layer message enables the base station to reconstruct the MIMO-CQI for all reuse sets on a packet-by-packet basis. This will enable dynamic scheduling (RESTRICTIVE REUSE) gains. (2) For Single Code Word users, dynamic RESTRICTIVE REUSE can be obtained by changing the CQI reporting format, and also sending a MIMO-VCQI connection layer message. (3) For Single Code Word design, quasi-static scheduling gains can be obtained by sending a MIMO-VCQI connection layer message.
