Abstract

Base station arrangement (100) adapted to receive signals from a user station; adapted to be connected to or comprises a plurality of antenna elements (1, 1, 2, 2,... 4, ) with antenna ports (11,... 11) and a signal processing unit (20). The base station (21) also comprises a signal pre-processing functional unit (30) to collect channel correlation information. It is adapted to establish if there is one or more distinguishing characteristics comprising different correlation properties of different configuration properties associated with the antenna elements. Antenna elements are then assigned to different groups based on said configuration properties, and the channel correlation information is used to generate weighting information which is applied to antenna ports connected to antenna elements to control the antenna ports connected to antenna elements to control the antenna element transmit power individually or groupwise.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a base station arrangement suitable for connection to or comprising an antenna part having a plurality of antenna elements. It includes a signal processing unit to which the antenna port of the antenna part is connected. The invention also relates to a method in such a base station arrangement for enabling the control of downlink multipath transmissions over a plurality of ports to subscriber stations. Background technique [0002] For mobile communication systems, multipath downlink transmissions suffer from many fadings and many efforts have been made to allow efficient handling of power in the base station with the aim of also allowing good reception possibilities in the subscriber stations. Due to the use of multiple antennas, the signals on the respective antennas must be transmitted with appropriate power, which is usually handled by applying a so-called downlink weight vector. [0003] Different approaches have been im...
