    Abstract: Channel covariance feedback is disclosed for enhanced full-dimension multiple input, multiple output (eFD-MIMO) systems. Channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) feedback operations are implemented using spatial covariance feedback of a covariance estimate. After obtaining a set of orthogonal basis vectors, a user equipment (UE) measures the CSI-RS from a base station and determines the spatial covariance matrix from the signal. The UE may then compress the spatial covariance matrix into a lower-dimension covariance estimate matrix using the orthogonal basis vectors. The lower-dimension matrix along with element-wise quantization allows for feedback of spatial covariance for eFD-MIMO systems without excessive feedback overhead.

    Abstract: Enhanced hybrid channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) for full dimension multiple input, multiple output (FD-MIMO) is discussed in which a base station configures a first CSI-RS resource for non-precoded CSI-RS and a second CSI-RS resource for beamformed CSI-RS. The first and second CSI-RS resources are associated with the same CSI process in a hybrid CSI-RS operation. The UE provides a first CSI report including a first rank and precoding matrix indicator (PMI) based on measurement of the non-precoded CSI-RS. The base station may use this first CSI report for the beamforming of the beamformed CSI-RS. The UE further provides a second CSI report including a second rank, second PMI, and CQI based on measurement of the beamformed CSI-RS. Additional aspects may provide for a base station to aggregate multiple two-port CSI-RS resource configurations into a single multiport CSI-RS resource configuration that may be dynamically shared between different UEs.
