Abstract
Fast calculation of channel state information using demodulation reference signals (DM-RS) is provided herein. Channel state information is traditionally calculated based on the channel state reference signals (CS-RS). Demodulation reference signals, which are used for channel estimation for a data channel, are transmitted at different times than CS-RS however, and so some portions of the channel state information including layer indicator (LI) and channel quality indicator (CQI) can be calculated based on the demodulation reference signals, allowing a network to adapt more quickly to changing channel conditions, without having to transmit a CS-RS. Generally, precoding matrix indicator and rank indicator, which cannot be determined based on the DM-RS, don't change as often and are more stable over time, thus do not need to be calculated as frequently as the LI and CQI.
