Abstract
Embodiments include systems and methods for improving the beamforming efficiency of Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) and/or Coordinate Beamforming (CB) in wireless multi-access networks. In one aspect, a receiver-aided approach for MU-MIMO and/or CB is provided. Unlike conventional MU-MIMO/CB operation which is transparent to the UE, the receiver-aided approach herein makes information about potential MU-MIMO and/or CB multi-user interference available to UEs being considered for MU-MIMO and/or CB transmission. As such, the UEs can provide Channel State Information (CSI) that is better tailored to actual data transmission conditions than in conventional operation, and the base station can make better decisions regarding MU-MIMO and/or CB operation, user selection, and transmission parameters (e.g., number of data streams, precoder matrix, etc.).
