Abstract
An apparatus for use in an O-RAN base station includes processing circuitry. To configure the O-RAN base station for signal processing in an O-RAN network, the processing circuitry is to decode an SRS and a DMRS in a UL stream received from at least one UE. Channel estimation is performed based on the SRS to obtain a channel estimate matrix of channel estimates associated with reception of the UL stream. A noise covariance is generated using the DMRS. Beamforming weights are determined using the channel estimate matrix and the noise covariance. Beamforming is performed on UL data corresponding to the UL stream to generate beamformed data streams. The beamforming is based on applying the beamforming weights to the UL data.
