Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a method of generating codebook in a wireless communication system with multiple antenna arrays, as well as a wireless communication system, base station and terminal using the codebook for communication. The method comprises steps of: providing a basic codebook which contains multiple pre-coding matrices; and assigning phase offsets to certain pre-coding matrices in the basic codebook to form a codebook with phase offset. The feedback overhead from a client to a base station side is reduced and a good precision of feedback for multi-antenna array is kept by applying the method of generating codebook and using the generated codebook in the wireless communication system, base station and terminal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A base station apparatus comprising: a codebook storing section configured to store an extended codebook which is generated by combining a first basic codebook and a second basic codebook along the column direction, wherein the first basic codebook includes N groups, each consisting of four basic pre-coding matrices that are orthogonal to each other (N is a natural number equal to or larger than 2), and wherein the second basic codebook is generated by apply…
