Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating a codebook and the associated data in a network device are provided in the invention. The method comprises the steps of generating a first row sub-matrix corresponding to a first group of antennas respectively for the respective ranks of the codebook to be generated; generating a second row sub-matrix corresponding to a second group of antennas respectively for the respective ranks based on an amount of the phase adjustment of the second group of antennas with respect to the first group of antennas; and generating a second codebook in accordance with the first row sub-matrix and the second row sub-matrix. As some embodiments of the method of the invention comprise the implementation of adjustment of the phase offset and the amplitude difference between the first and the second groups of antennas, the phase offset and the relative amplitude difference among the cross-polarized linear antennas array is guaranteed when the network device uses the downlink data generated therefore for transmission, such that the receiving quality of the transmitted data may be improved, and the system performance may be improved effectively.
