SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND MEDIA FOR SELECTING ANTENNAS AND BEAMFORMERS

摘要

Systems that: (a) select a current antenna subset; (b) receive signals in response to a transmission of pilot symbols using the current antenna subset: (c) determine a current objective function for the current antenna subset; (d) replace an antenna in the current antenna subset with another antenna not, in the current antenna subset, to form a next antenna subset; (e) receive signals in response to a transmission of pilot symbols using the next antenna subset; (f) determines a next objective function for the current antenna subset; (g) determines whether the next objective function is better than the current objective function, and if so creates a corresponding next occupation probability vector entry; and (h) determines whether the value for the corresponding next occupation probability vector entry is larger than a value for an optimal occupation probability vector entry, and if so sets the second antenna subset as the optimal antenna subset.
