Codebook Type I

Type I CSI Codebook (Grid of Beams)

Standard low-overhead MIMO codebook using discrete Fourier transform (DFT) beam grids for SU-MIMO.

Technical Explanation

Type I Codebooks define spatial beams based on 2D Kronecker product DFT matrices representing a fixed grid of beams. Available in single-panel and multi-panel configurations, Type I codebooks offer low feedback overhead (tens of bits) and are ideal for Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) in line-of-sight and moderate scattering environments.

Key Functions

  • Uses 2D DFT basis vectors representing a grid of spatial beams
  • Supports single-panel and multi-panel antenna configurations
  • Low feedback overhead optimized for Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO)
