Abstract
Some embodiments include a method in a wireless device capable of uplink transmission in a wireless communication network. The wireless device comprises a plurality of antenna ports. The method comprises determining one or more subsets of the plurality of antenna ports. Each subset of antenna ports comprises antenna ports that can be coherently combined to form a precoding of a transmission layer for transmitting from the subset of antenna ports. The method further comprises communicating an indication of the one or more subsets to a network node, and receiving, from the network node, an instruction of a precoding to use for an uplink transmission. The instruction is based on the indicated one or more subsets. The method further comprises precoding an uplink transmission based on the received instruction, and transmitting the transmission to the network node.
