Popis: The transformative enhancements of fifth-generation (5G) mobile devices bring about new challenges to achieve better uplink (UL) performance. Particularly, in codebook-based transmission, the wide-band (WB) precoding and the legacy UL codebook may become main bottlenecks for higher efficient data transmission. In this paper, we investigate the codebook-based UL single-layer transmission performance using fully coherent antenna ports in the context of sub-band (SB) precoding. We analyze the SB precoder selection criteria and design an UL codebook used for SB precoding by increasing the number of relative phase shifts of each port. Via link-level simulations, we verify that the UL SB precoding can improve up to 2 dB performance gain in terms of the block error rate (BLER) compared with the UL WB precoding which is the current UL precoding scheme. We also show that UL performance gain is sensitive to the SB size selection as well as the relative phase shift diversity.
