METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING SPATIAL-DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS

摘要

A method and apparatus for performing spatial-division multiple access within a communication system is provided herein. During operation, nodes will return null subspace information along with their channel subspace information. The null subspace is similar to the channel subspace except that the null subspace information directs a base station to the matrix in a predefined codebook that results in minimum power being received at the node. The null subspace for each node is taken into consideration when communicating with a particular node.
