METHOD OF IMPROVING TRANSMISSION GAIN AT A NETWORK ELEMENT HAVING A PLURALITY OF ANTENNAS

摘要

In one embodiment, the method includes reducing (S220) a beam width of transmission to increase an open-loop beamforming gain, reducing (S230) a channel bandwidth of the transmission to increase a channel bandwidth gain, and increasing (S240) a sequence length of the transmission to increase a sequence length gain. In this embodiment, a gain improvement is based on the product of the open loop beamforming gain, the channel bandwidth gain and the sequence length gain.
