Patent ID: 10411779

Abstract:
According to one of the aspects, there is provided a method for providing channel state feedback related to a wireless link between a transmitter having multiple transmit antennas and a receiver having at least one receive antenna. The method comprises determining (S1) channel estimates for at least a subset of the effective channels between the transmitter and the receiver, each effective channel including a propagation channel, and signal paths in the transmitter and the receiver. The method also comprises determining (S2) frequency-independent and/or inter-antenna-independent channel state information associated with phase relaxation of at least the subset of the effective channels based on the channel estimates, and generating (S3) channel state feedback including at least a representation of the frequency-independent and/or inter-antenna-independent channel state information associated with the phase relaxation. The method further comprises transmitting (S4) the channel state feedback to the transmitter.
