Abstract
A user equipment (UE) in a wireless network having two-dimensional antenna systems performs a method of codebook sampling. The method includes receiving from an eNodeB (eNB) an indication of a restricted subset M of vertical precoding matrices, wherein M is less than a total number of vertical precoding matrices N in a codebook, the codebook comprising a plurality of vertical precoding matrices and horizontal precoding matrices. The method also includes feeding back vertical precoding matrix indicators (V-PMI) to the eNB based on the restricted subset of vertical precoding matrices.
