Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An eNB is configured to perform a method for coordinating downlink power per layer at an eNB in a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) network. The method includes receiving feedback from at least one UE; calculating a plurality of MIMO gradients based on the received feedback; changing a power per layer according to the calculated MIMO gradients; and exchanging gradient power information between the eNB and at least one neighboring eNB.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for coordinating downlink power per layer independently at an enhanced NodeB (eNB) in a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) network, the method comprising: receiving feedback from at least one user equipment (UE); calculating a plurality of MIMO gradients based on the received feedback; changing a power per layer according to the calculated MIMO gradients; and exchanging gradient power information between the eNB and at least one neighborin…
