Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for a user equipment receiving CSI-RS and computing channel support information. Based on the CSI, the UE derives tap locations of channel support, depending on the observed channel and used subcarrier spacing. The deriving can additionally be done in relation to power class and window size. The UE apprises a base station of those tap locations of the channel support and also informs the base station of the strongest tap locations, which can be done in various ways comprising a bit mask. Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for a base station to send CSI-RS to a UE for computing CSI feedback. The CSI-RS resources can be for one or multiple transmit receive points. The base station receives back an indication of tap locations and a bit mask and builds information on tap locations by combining that received indication and bit mask.

Compression of tap location information for time domain explicit channel state information feedback in new radio

A method including evaluating a number of constituent precoders to be used in providing a single precoder to include in an explicit channel state information (CSI) report, to be transmitted from a user terminal to at least one device in a network, and combining the constituent precoders to form the single precoder in response to a determination that the number of constituent precoders to be used in providing the single precoder is greater than one. The method includes configuring to signal to transmit the explicit CSI report including the single precoder from the user terminal to the at least one device in the network.

Adaptive explicit CSI feedback and overhead reduction

Various communication system may benefit from the appropriate selection of communication parameters. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from the user of a low-overhead high-rank codebook. A method can include determining a first partition of a precoding matrix with a higher resolution and a second partition of the precoding matrix with a lower resolution. The method can also include feeding back the first partition and the second partition.

Low-overhead high-rank codebook

An apparatus and a method are disclosed by which transmit power for each antenna element of an antenna array for beamforming is determined by determining a weight vector including a weight for each antenna element according to a specific beamforming procedure, it is detected whether at least one of the plurality of antenna elements is saturated, wherein an antenna element is saturated when the determined transmit power for this antenna element is higher than a threshold, and, when it is detected that there is at least one saturated antenna element, the transmit power for each antenna element of the antenna array is adjusted such that a part of the transmit power allocated to the at least one saturated antenna element is allocated to at least one antenna element of the antenna array which is not saturated based on the weight vector determined according to the specific beamforming procedure.
