Patent attributes
A user equipment (UE) capable of communicating with a base station includes a plurality of antenna ports P, the UE includes a transceiver configured to receive downlink signals indicating precoder codebook parameters, the downlink signal including first and second quantities of antenna ports (N1, N2) indicating respective quantities of antenna ports in first and second dimensions, first and second oversampling factors (O1, O2) indicating respective oversampling factors for DFT beams in the first and second dimensions, and a codebook subset selection configuration among a plurality of codebook subset selection configurations, and a controller configured to determine first and second beam skip numbers (S1, S2) indicating respective differences of leading beam indices of two adjacent beam groups in the first and second dimensions, determine a plurality of precoding matrix indicators (PMIs) including a first PMI (i1,1, i1,2) and a second PMI i2, based on the received downlink signals and the skip numbers (S1, S2), and cause the transceiver to transmit uplink signals containing the plurality of PMIs to the base station.
