METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REVERSE LINK TRANSMIT BEAM-FORMING

摘要

A method and system for reverse link transmit beam-forming. The method uses antenna selection and transmits a signal on a first antenna for a first period of time and on a second antenna for a subsequent period of time. One method comprises using a plurality of antennas at an access terminal to wirelessly transmit signals to one or more base stations; receiving an input indicating a reverse link signal quality at the one or more base stations; and adjusting at least one of a gain and a phase of a signal to be transmitted on one or more antennas. The input may be a reverse power control (RPC) value sent from one or more base stations or a measurement of the closed-loop pilot transmit power.
