ASSIGNMENT OF RADIO RESOURCES TO BE USED ON DOWNLINK TRANSMISSIONS IN A MULTIPLE INPUT MULTIPLE OUTPUT (MIMO) COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An access point and method are described herein for receiving a report from the mobile station containing at least one of a channel quality and a signal strength for each of one or more streams associated with each of one or more transmission modes used during a period of time to send payload to the mobile station, and analyzing the received report to determine one or more downlink control parameters to be used for sending additional payload to the mobile station. In addition, a mobile station and method are described herein for detecting one or more modes of transmissions used by the access point during a period of time to send payload to the mobile station, generating a report containing at least one of a channel quality and a signal strength for each of one or more streams associated with each of the detected one or more transmission modes used by the access point to send the payload to the mobile station, and transmitting the report to the access point.

主权项

1. An access point configured to interact with a mobile station, the access point comprising:
at least one processor; and, at least one memory that stores processor-executable instructions, wherein the at least one processor interfaces with the at least one memory to execute the processor-executable instructions, whereby said access point is operable to:
receive, from the mobile station, a report containing at least one of a channel quality and a signal strength for each of one or more streams associated with each of one or more transmission modes used during a period of time to send payload to the mobile station; and,analyze the received report to determine one or more downlink control parameters to be used for sending additional payload to the mobile station.
