MIMO transmission with rank adaptation for multi-gigabit 60 GHz wireless

摘要

A wireless system includes a transmitter with a baseband processor responsive to groups of transmitter antenna arrays for communicating over directional beams; and a receiver with a baseband processor responsive to groups of receiver antenna rays for communicating with the transmitter over the directional beams, the receiver including both a rank adaptation providing a transmit mode feedback to the transmitter and a blind beamforming providing a transmit beamformer index feedback to the transmitter and receiver groups of antenna arrays.
