Abstract:
Embodiments of a Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are disclosed herein. The gNB may be configured with logical nodes including a gNB central unit (gNB-CU) and a gNB distributed unit (gNB-DU). The gNB-CU  106  may determine a first precoding matrix and a second precoding matrix for a precoding of one or more data streams for transmission on a plurality of antennas coupled to the gNB-DU. The precoding may be in accordance with a split functionality between the gNB-CU and the gNB-DU that includes: precoding by the gNB-CU with the first precoding matrix, and precoding by the gNB-DU with the second precoding matrix.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus of a generation node B (gNB), the apparatus comprising: processing circuitry; and memory, the gNB configured with logical nodes including a gNB central unit (gNB-CU) and a gNB distributed unit (gNB-DU), the gNB-CU configured to communicate with the gNB-DU over an F1 interface, the processing circuitry configured to:\n determine, by the gNB-CU, a first precoding matrix and a second precoding matrix for a precoding of one or more data streams for transmission on a plurality of antennas coupled to the gNB-DU, the precoding in accordance with a split functionality between the gNB-CU and the gNB-DU that includes: precoding by the gNB-CU with the first precoding matrix, and precoding by the gNB-DU with the second precoding matrix; wherein the gNB-CU is configured to precode first symbols from the data streams by the first precoding matrix to generate second symbols for transfer on the F1 interface to the gNB-DU; wherein the gNB-DU is configured to precode the second symbols by the second precoding matrix to generate third symbols for transmission on the antennas, wherein the memory is configured to store the first and second precoding matrixes.
