SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BEAMFORMING IN MULTI-INPUT MULTI-OUTPUT COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

METHODS AND APPARATUSES ARE DISCLOSED THAT UTILIZE INFORMATION FROM LESS THAN ALL TRANSMISSION PATHS FROM A TRANSMITTER TO FORM BEAMFORMING WEIGHTS FOR TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION, METHODS ANDAPPARATUSES ARE DISCLOSED THAT UTILIZE CHANNEL INFORMATION, SUCH AS CQI, EIGENBEAM WEIGHTS, AND/OR CHANNEL ESTIMATES, TO FORM BEAMFORMING WEIGHTS.
