SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTING A NUMBER OF SPATIAL STREAMS TO BE USED FOR TRANSMISSION BASED ON PROBING OF CHANNELS

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for determining a number of spatial channels to use to transmit a data packet from a source node to a destination node. This determination can be made based on a Probability of Channel non-Correlation (PCC) function that is generated and updated by the source node based on feedback from the destination node. The PCC function indicates a probability of whether a plurality of spatial channels are non-correlated.
