Abstract
A method performed by a node in a wireless communications network for improving multi-user transmissions in the wireless communications network is provided. The node determines channel estimates based on demodulation reference signals, or a data symbol in at least one Physical Resource Block, PRB, of the latest received subframe. Then, the node determines a phase difference and an amplitude difference between Resource Elements, REs, in a first set of contiguous REs in the at least one PRB of the latest received subframe based on the obtained channel estimates. The node then pre-equalizes at least one channel within at least one PRB of a transmission subframe by aligning the phase and amplitude of REs in a second set of contiguous REs therein based on the determined phase and amplitude differences. A node for improving multi-user transmissions in the wireless communications network is also provided.
