TRANSMIT BEAMFORMING SOUNDING WITH TRAVELING PILOTS

摘要

This document discusses, among other things, apparatus and methods for transmit beamforming sounding. An example method for communicating over a wireless network having multiple sub-carrier frequencies can include assigning a first pilot signal to a first sub-carrier frequency for transmission with a first symbol, transmitting the first symbol from a first wireless device, receiving the first symbol at a second wireless device, determining channel time and phase offset using the first pilot signal, and estimating transmit beamforming channel state information using the first pilot signal.
