Beamformed transmission using a precoder

Patent, 2023

There is provided mechanisms for beamformed transmission using a precoder. A method is performed by a radio transceiver device. The radio transceiver device comprises hard ware. The hardware impacts transmission of signals from the radio transceiver device. The method comprises acquiring channel conditions of a radio propagation channel between the radio transceiver device and at least one other radio transceiver device. The method comprises determining a precoder, in form of a linear precoding matrix, for beam formed transmission towards the at least one other radio transceiver device. The precoder is determined according to the channel conditions and a model of how the hardware impacts the transmission of signals from the radio transceiver device. The method comprises transmitting, using the precoder, a signal towards the at least one other radio transceiver device.
