A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which downlink transmission modes in a wireless network are semi-statically configured for a mobile terminal in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) operation. The apparatus provides multiple precoding matrix indicators (PMIs) for a plurality of ranks.

Feedback configuration information received by an apparatus defines a plurality of channel state information feedback instances conditioned on an admissible rank value. Rank indicators (RIs) and PMIs corresponding to the feedback instances are determined and feedback is provided for the channel state information feedback instances.

The present invention relates to a system and methodology to facilitate database processing in accordance with a plurality of various applications. In one aspect, a large database of objects is processed, wherein the objects can be represented as points in a vector space, and two or more objects are deemed ‘close’ if a Euclidean distance between the points is small. This can apply for substantially any type of object, provided a suitable distance measure can be defined. In another aspect, a ‘test’ object having a vector x, is processed to determine if there exists an object y in the database such that the distance between x and y falls below a threshold t. If several objects in the database satisfy this criteria, a list of objects can be returned, together with their corresponding distances. If no objects were to satisfy the criterion, an indication of this condition can also be provided, but in addition, the condition or information relating to the condition can be provided.
