In another example for there are the UE of multilayer transmission, if UE1 and UE2 uses double codeword transmissions, and it transmits number of plies difference
For 3 and 2, UE3, UE4 and UE5 are transmitted using single codeword, then mapping table of the base station according to table 2, by rope in dicode word
The correspondence of quotation marks { 2,9 } is allocated to the UE1 and UE2 of transmission dicode word, and pair by call number in single codeword { 8,10,12 }
It should be related to and be allocated to UE3, UE4 and UE5, it is shown in Figure 6, so as to support MU-MIMO different user devices using different
The transmission number of plies, improve system flexibility.
Finally, UE is by checking that descending control signaling obtains the call number that 4 bit datas represent, by shown in inquiry table 2
Mapping table, to obtain base station as the resource particle number shared by the antenna end slogan and DMRS that it is distributed so that
Corresponding data are demodulated by corresponding antenna port.
