Abstract
Base station (BS) capable of beamforming in a wireless communication includes a transceiver comprising an antenna array, the transceiver configured to measure SRS from a UE, using at least one portion of the antenna array, and a processor configured to select at least one UL beam vector based on an SRS measurement from a UL beam-codebook comprising a set of beam weight vectors, determine at least one DL beam weight vector corresponding to each of the selected at least one UL beam weight vector, transmit a beamformed CSI-RS by applying the at least one DL beam weight vector to the antenna array, receive a CSI feedback including a PMI from the UE, wherein the PMI is determined based on the beamformed CSI-RS, and construct a precoding channel matrix for the UE based on the PMI and the at least one DL beam weight vector.
