Abstract
A distributed base station system comprises a remote radio unit, RRU, and a base band unit, BBU, connected to the RRU over a fronthaul link, the RRU being connected to N antennas. The method comprising by the RRU: obtaining uplink signals as received at the N antennas from a number of User Equipment, UEs, wirelessly connected to the RRU; obtaining a channel estimation matrix of the wireless communication channels; determining an interference covariance estimation matrix based on the obtained channel estimation matrix and on other channel information different from the channel estimation matrix; sending information on the channel estimation matrix and on the interference covariance estimation matrix to the BBU; determining intermediate signals based on the uplink signals, the channel estimation matrix and the interference covariance estimation matrix, and sending the intermediate signals to the BBU.
