Abstract
Pre-coding methods are disclosed for a transmitter node and for a receiver node, respectively. The transmitter node and/or the receiver node comprises at least one hardware component causing signal distortion for a forward channel and/or a reverse channel Transmitter node reference signals are transmitted by the transmitter node and received by the receiver node, wherein the transmitter node reference signals result from use of a transmitter node transmission pre-coding setting and an allocated transmission power. The receiver node estimates a forward channel disturbance component (including the signal distortion for the forward channel), selects a receiver node reception pre-coding setting based on the estimated forward channel disturbance component, and updates a receiver node transmission pre-coding setting by using the selected receiver node reception pre-coding setting as receiver node transmission pre-coding setting. Receiver node reference signals are transmitted by the receiver node and received by the transmitter node, wherein the receiver node reference signals result from use of the updated receiver node transmission pre-coding setting. The transmitter node estimates a reverse channel disturbance component (including the signal distortion for the reverse channel), selects a transmitter node reception pre-coding setting based on the estimated reverse channel disturbance component, and updates the transmitter node transmission pre-coding setting by using the selected transmitter node reception pre-coding setting as transmitter node transmission pre-coding setting. Corresponding pre-coding apparatuses, transmitter/receiver nodes, and computer program product are also disclosed.
