Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for communicating in a network, the network comprising at least a first cell and a second cell including respectively a first primary station having a first antenna array dedicated to the first cell and a second primary station having a second antenna array dedicated to the second cell, for communicating with a plurality of secondary stations, the method comprising the step of (a) providing with a co-operative beamforming transmission from the first and second primary stations to at least one first secondary station, wherein step (a) includes (a 1 ) the first secondary station signaling at least one channel matrix to at least one of the first and second primary stations, and (a 2 ) the first and second primary stations applying a precoding matrix across both the first antenna array and the second antenna array, and wherein the precoding matrix comprises a first vector for the first cell and a second vector for the second cell, the precoding matrix being based on the at least one channel matrix.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of operating a secondary station, the method comprising:\n in the secondary station:\n sending signals to and receiving signals from at least a first and second primary station, via an antenna array, wherein the first primary station is dedicated to a first cell of a network and the second primary station is dedicated to a second cell of the network; \n receiving, via a processor controlling a transceiver coupled to the antenna array, a co-operative beamformed transmission from the first and second primary stations; wherein the co-operative beamformed transmission comprises a first data stream transmitted from a first antenna array of the first primary station and a second data stream transmitted from a second antenna array of the second primary station. \n signaling, via the processor, transceiver and antenna array, at least one channel matrix to at least one of the first and second primary stations; \n wherein the channel matrix is based on a codebook dedicated for at least one of the first cell and the second cell, the codebook comprising a first vector associated with the first cell and a second vector associated with the second cell.
