Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for spectral sharing wireless systems, wherein multiple user devices share time and frequency resources for uplink and/or downlink transmissions, are described. One example wireless communication system includes a network station, and multiple user devices, wherein data transmissions over the same time and frequency resources are shared between multiple user devices, in downlink and/or uplink, using spatial user device separation that is dynamically computed by the network station, and where the network station derives spatial user device separation based on uplink channel measurements.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of wireless communication, comprising:
determining, by a first wireless device, a second wireless device specific first precoder used for precoding transmissions, wherein the first precoder is determined to match a second precoder at a specific angular sector, wherein the first precoder is determined based on channel measurements of transmissions from the second wireless device to the first wireless device, wherein the first precoder is determined by estimating an angle of arrival estimate (AOA) from at least one user device, wherein the AOA estimate is processed over one or more received transmissions from the at least one user device, and wherein multiple received transmissions include reference signal transmissions and/or other control transmissions and/or data transmissions; performing, a transmission from the first wireless device to the second wireless device using the first precoder for precoding the transmission; and performing, a reception by the first wireless device of a transmission from the second wireless device using the first precoder for post-coding the transmission.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission is directed to the specific angular sector.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second precoder is approximately an isotropic precoder.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device is a base station and the second wireless device is a user device.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device is a user device and the second wireless device is a base station.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first precoder is completely determined from channel measurements of transmissions from the second wireless device to the first wireless device.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first precoder is determined by performing a scaling operation on a result of channel measurements of transmissions from the second wireless device to the first wireless device.

8 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
determining the first precoder based on reference signal transmissions received from the second wireless device.

9 . A first wireless device comprising one or more processors and a transceiver, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
determine, by the first wireless device, a second wireless device specific first precoder used for precoding transmissions, wherein the first precoder is determined to match a second precoder at a specific angular sector, wherein the first precoder is determined based on channel measurements of transmissions from the second wireless device to the first wireless device, wherein the first precoder is determined by estimating an angle of arrival estimate (AOA) from at least one user device, wherein the AOA estimate is processed over one or more received transmissions from the at least one user device, and wherein multiple received transmissions include reference signal transmissions and/or other control transmissions and/or data transmissions; and wherein the transceiver is configured to: perform a transmission from the first wireless device to the second wireless device using the first precoder for precoding the transmission; and performing a reception by the first wireless device of a transmission from the second wireless device using the first precoder for post-coding the transmission.

10 . The first wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the second precoder is approximately an isotropic precoder.

11 . The first wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the first wireless device is a base station and the second wireless device is a user device.

12 . The first wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the first wireless device is a user device and the second wireless device is a base station.

13 . The first wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the first precoder is completely determined from channel measurements of transmissions from the second wireless device to the first wireless device.

14 . The first wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the first precoder is determined by performing a scaling operation on a result of channel measurements of transmissions from the second wireless device to the first wireless device.

15 . The first wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
determine the first precoder based on reference signal transmissions received from the second wireless device.
