Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosure relates to controlling uplink transmissions according to closed loop techniques such as closed loop uplink transmit diversity and uplink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). An exemplary method for use in a user equipment ( 61 ) configured for multi-antenna transmissions comprises a step of receiving ( 62 ), in a downlink channel, pre-coding vector information indicating a pre-coding vector for uplink transmission. The method further comprises a step of determining ( 63 ) whether the pre-coding vector indicated by the received pre-coding vector information is reliable or unreliable and steps of applying ( 64 ) the pre-coding vector indicated by the received pre-coding vector information for uplink transmission only if the pre-coding vector is determined to be reliable and applying ( 66 ) a pre-determined pre-coding vector when the pre-coding vector indicated by the received pre-coding vector information is determined to be unreliable.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for use in a user equipment in a telecommunication system, the user equipment configured for multi-antenna transmissions, the method comprising: receiving, in a downlink channel, pre-coding vector information indicating a pre-coding vector for uplink transmission; determining whether the pre-coding vector indicated by the received pre-coding vector information is reliable or unreliable; applying the pre-coding vector indicated by the recei…
