MULTI-ANTENNA TRANSMISSION PROTOCOLS FOR HIGH DOPPLER CONDITIONS
First Claim
1. A network node device, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
determining a metric representative of a shift in a received frequency of a signal determined to have been received by a user equipment and an actual frequency determined to have been used to transmit the signal;
in response to the metric being determined to exceed a threshold, facilitating transmitting, to the user equipment, a message instructing the user equipment to enable a reception of transmission signals having a precoding rank value of one, wherein the precoding rank value of one indicates transmissions of data comprising same content concurrently from the network node device to the user equipment;
facilitating transmitting, to the user equipment, a reference signal specific to the user equipment and having the precoding rank value of one;
receiving, from the user equipment, feedback comprising an indicator of channel quality applicable to a quality of a channel between the network node device and the user equipment;
based on the indicator of channel quality, determining a transmission scheduling parameter related to a transmission protocol for further transmissions from the network node device to the user equipment; and
facilitating transmitting, to the user equipment, the transmission scheduling parameter.

Abstract
In response to a metric (e.g., Doppler metric) exceeding a threshold, a network node device can facilitate transmitting a message instructing a user equipment to enable reception of transmission signals having a precoding rank value of one. The network node device can send a reference signal having the precoding rank value of one, and receive feedback from the user equipment comprising an indicator of channel quality. Optionally, in response to the metric exceeding a threshold, the network node device can facilitate transmitting a message instructing the user equipment to respond to a reference signal by providing feedback comprising a first indicator of rank having a value of one, and a second indicator of channel quality.

8. A network device, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; determining a metric representative of a shift in a received frequency of a signal determined to have been received by a user equipment and an actual frequency determined to have been employed to transmit the signal; in response to the metric being determined to exceed a threshold, facilitating transmitting, to the user equipment, a message instructing the user equipment to respond to a reference signal by including channel state information feedback relating to a transmission protocol for transmissions between the user equipment and the network device, the channel state information feedback comprising; a first indicator of rank having a value of one, wherein the first indicator of rank is representative of a number of different data streams transmitted between the network device and the user equipment, and a second indicator of channel quality applicable to a quality of the channel between the network device and the user equipment; facilitating transmitting, to the user equipment, the reference signal; receiving, from the user equipment, the channel state information feedback; decoding the channel state information feedback resulting in decoded channel state information feedback; based on the decoded channel state information feedback, determining a transmission scheduling parameter related to the transmission protocol; and facilitating transmitting, to the user equipment, the transmission scheduling parameter. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
