The invention discloses a method and equipment for generating a
codebook and sending and feeding back information. The method for sending the information comprises the following steps: after the
codebook is generated, receiving signals containing
codebook index information and extracting the codebook index information; according to the codebook index information, selecting corresponding
precoding matrixes from the codebook or subsets of the codebook;
precoding data to be sent according to the
precoding matrixes; and sending the precoded signals to a receiving end. The method of feeding
back channel status information comprises the following steps: receiving information sent by a sending end; estimating channel information on the basis of the received information; selecting the corresponding precoding matrixes from the codebook or the subsets of the codebook according to the channel information,; and sending signals containing codebook index information corresponding to the selected precoding matrixes. By the invention, dual-
precoding matrix index feedback can be supported, the quantization accuracy of small-interval dual-polarization array channels can be improved, and the quantization accuracy of small-interval
linear array channels can be enhanced.
