Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A user equipment used in a mobile communication system that has multiple antenna ports configured to receive a first reference signal from a base station is disclosed. The antenna ports are configured to transmit the first feedback information for the first reference signal. Additionally, the antenna ports are configured to receive a second reference signal from the base station and transmit the second feedback information for the second reference signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A user equipment used in a mobile communication system, comprising: a plurality of antenna ports configured to receive a first reference signal type including more than one channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs) from a base station, wherein the plurality of antenna ports are configured to transmit a first feedback information for the first reference signal type, and wherein the plurality of antenna ports are configured to receive a second reference signal type from the base station and transmit a second feedback information for the second reference signal type, wherein the first feedback information includes a precode selection result for the first reference signal type and a number of optimum beams, and wherein the second feedback information includes a precode selection result for the second reference signal type.
