Abstract:
A low complexity multiple input multiple output transmitter that transmits a single codeword per channel is disclosed herein. Instead of sending multiple codewords per channel for transmissions that support higher data layer transmissions, the transmitter can send single codewords over multiple channels in order to improve spectral efficiency over a range of signal to interference plus noise ratios. For instance, if a downlink transmission to a user equipment (UE) has a rank of 4, capable of supporting 4 data layers, instead of sending 2 or more codewords over a single downlink control channel, the transmitter can schedule multiple control channels and transmit a single codeword per channel. The transmitter can also include in the signaling to the UE that the multi-codewords are included in multiple downlink control channels.

Claim (Index 10):
A method, comprising:\n determining, by a transmitter device, a first number of codewords to be used to transmit control channel information to a receiver device based on a second number of data layers associated with a transmission to the receiver device; and establishing, by the transmitter device, a third number of control channels via which to transmit the first number of codewords, wherein respective codewords of the first number of codewords are scheduled separately on respective control channels to the receiver device, and wherein a scheduling grant associated with the third number of control channels comprises information relating to an antenna port to be used in connection with the scheduling grant.
