Abstract:
A wireless communications system and a method therein for transmission of a downlink signal in a wireless communications network supporting beamforming. The system estimates uplink channel information for a radio link from a wireless device to a radio network node. Further, the system obtains downlink beamforming information related to the estimated uplink channel information from a machine learning unit. The machine learning unit comprises relationships between beamforming information and uplink channel information determined based on stored pairs of reported downlink beamforming information and measured uplink channel information. The obtained downlink beamforming information is applicable for the radio cell sector. Furthermore, the system transmits, towards the wireless device, a beamformed downlink signal using the obtained downlink beamforming information.
