Abstract

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des appareils destinés à un fonctionnement en boucle fermée d’un système sans fil qui met en place des entrées multiples-sorties multiples (MIMO). Dans un aspect, l’invention concerne un procédé. Le procédé peut consister à déterminer, au niveau de la station client, une pluralité de vecteurs singuliers pour des canaux utilisés dans une transmission à entrées multiples-sorties multiples (MIMO) d’une station de base à une station client. De plus, la station client peut fournir une première indication à la station de base afin qu’elle utilise une décomposition de valeur singulière, lorsque l’un des vecteurs singuliers est quasiment plus grand que les autres vecteurs singuliers. En outre, la station de base peut fournir une seconde indication à la station de base afin qu’elle utilise une décomposition de canal uniforme, lorsque l’un des vecteurs singuliers n’est pas sensiblement plus grand que les autres vecteurs singuliers. L’invention concerne également des systèmes, des appareils, des procédés, et/ou des articles liés.
