[0034] The second embodiment has the following advantages:

[0035] - Different data can be transmitted from different cells, which avoids the need to provide multiple copies of the same data in several cells.

[0036] - Existing codebooks can be used without the need to indicate any phase offset.

[0037] - Scheduling decisions (eg transmission rate and power allocation) may be at least partially independent on different cells. This is the second embodiment can be more suitable for figure 2 The reason for the network shown.

[0038] As an additional feature of the second embodiment, the signaling indicating the downlink transmission of multiple streams from multiple cells to the user equipment may be similar to the signaling used for multiple streams from a single cell (i.e. PDCCH in LTE ). In general, there is a need to give the user equipment an indication of which is the appropriate reference signal to receive a given stream. If the reference is provided by means of ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for communicating in a network comprising at least a first cell and a second cell, each comprising a first primary station with a first antenna array dedicated to the first cell and a primary station with a dedicated A second primary station of a second antenna array of a second cell for communicating with a plurality of secondary stations, the method comprising the step (a) providing from said first primary station and second primary station to at least one primary station The cooperative beamforming transmission of the method, wherein step (a) includes (a1) said first station signaling at least one channel matrix to at least one of the first master station and the second master station, and (a2) said The first master station and the second master station apply a precoding matrix on the first antenna array and the second antenna array, and wherein the precoding matrix includes a first vector for the first cell and a vector for A second vector for the second cell, the precoding matrix is ​​based on the at least one channel matrix.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of communicating in a communication system such as a mobile communication system such as UMTS, LTE or LTE-Advanced. [0002] More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of communicating using cooperative beamforming, in which beamforming is acquired by utilizing master station antennas from different cells, and in which a precoding codebook for cooperative beamforming between different cells is used. Background technique [0003] To achieve higher transmission rates, it has been proposed to use cooperative beamforming, where multiple antennas from different cells are used to create at least one spatial stream towards the user terminal. In combination with beamforming and MIMO techniques, precoding is applied to the antennas by applying complex coefficients to the antennas such that the gain and / or phase of the transmit antennas are changed. Nevertheless, it is crucial to signal the user termin...
