Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for communicating in a network, the network comprising at least a first cell and a second cell including respectively a first primary station having a first antenna array dedicated to the first cell and a second primary station having a second antenna array dedicated to the second cell, for communicating with a plurality of secondary stations, the method comprising the step of (a) providing with a co-operative beamforming transmission from the first and second primary stations to at least one first secondary station, wherein step (a) includes (a1) the first secondary station signaling at least one channel matrix to at least one of the first and second primary stations, and (a2) the first and second primary stations applying a precoding matrix across both the first antenna array and the second antenna array, and wherein the precoding matrix comprises a first vector for the first cell and a second vector for the second cell, the precoding matrix being based on the at least one channel matrix.
