Abstract

In MIMO wireless communication networks, receiver MIMO antenna parameters are not static over time. For example, the MIMO channel correlation is higher for high frequency bands than for low frequency bands. This variability of the receiver antenna parameters introduces uncertainty based the reported CSI (e.g., CQI, PMI, RI) if the network uses only static assumptions for such antenna parameter values. In embodiments, the UE determines the current status of its receive antenna parameters—such as number, configuration, correlation, and power imbalance—and transmits this information to the network (e.g., serving BS). The network node then based on the received information performs one or more radio operational tasks leading to more efficient use of radio resources and enhanced system performance.
