PRECODING TRACKING FOR CELL FREE MASSIVE MIMO

A method may include transmitting, by a network node within a wireless network to a reference node, a first precoded tracking signal based on estimated precoding weights that are estimated to provide a predetermined signal at the reference node; receiving, by the network node from the reference node, a message including information related to whether or not the predetermined signal was received at the reference node based, at least in part, on the first precoded tracking signal transmitted by the network node; performing the following, by the network node, if the predetermined signal was not received at the reference node: adjusting one or more transmission parameters of the network node, that is estimated to more accurately provide the predetermined signal at the reference node; and transmitting, by the network node, a second precoded tracking signal based on adjusted transmission parameters.
