Singular value decomposition beamforming for a multiple-input-multiple-output communication system

摘要

For one embodiment, a MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) communication system in which a first sequence of beamformed signals is transmitted, a beamformed channel is observed in response to transmission of the first sequence of beamformed signals, a QR decomposition of the observed beamformed channel is performed to provide a unitary matrix, and a second sequence of beamformed signals is transmitted using as a beamformer the unitary matrix. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
