Code allocation for uplink MIMO
The disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses that allow for channelization code allocation adapted for uplink MIMO transmissions. A method for use in a user equipment of a telecommunication system comprises spreading data symbols of a plurality of streams to be transmitted from the user equipment as MIMO transmissions. The step of spreading the data symbols comprises allocating, for each stream, at least one channelization code (62) to be applied for spreading the data symbols of the stream. The plurality of streams are allocated channelization codes (62) from a predefined code tree (61) of applicable channelization codes such that any channelization code (62) is allocated to more than one stream only if there is no applicable channelization code left in the code tree (61) which currently is not allocated for any stream. The channelization code allocation scheme makes it possible to avoid inter-stream interference in many scenarios of uplink MIMO transmissions.
