Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein reduce interference at pilot symbols and also enable good interference measurements by using a combination pilot tones and null tones along with null tones. In this type of system, the receivers estimate the channel state information without any strong interference from the neighboring transmitters, and at the same time it can also measure either the individual interference channel states or the interference covariances from the silent periods. It uses these measurements thus obtained to calculate the post processing SINR, and then compute and report the wideband and subband CQIs to the transmitter. The groups of transmitters are reused in geographically separated region using a frequency reuse structure. In a preferred implementation, pilot signal is precoded using a multi-antenna precoder. The precoder may be same for pilot and data.
