System and method for power control and antenna grouping in a distributed-input-distributed-output (DIDO) network

摘要

A system and machine-implemented method are described for adjusting communication with a first distributed-input-distributed-output (DIDO) client. For example, a method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: applying DIDO weights to one or more data streams to generate one or more DIDO precoded data streams; receiving input channel quality information (CQI) and/or channel state information (CSI) related to DIDO communication channels over which the DIDO precoded data streams are to be transmitted; determining a power scaling factor based on the CQI and/or CSI; and applying the power scaling factor to each of the DIDO precoded data streams.
