SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR ASYMMETRICAL BEAMFORMING WITH EQUAL-POWER TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

The present invention provides a plurality of embodiments for beamforming in an asymmetrical system wireless communication system (400) of NT (102i) transmit antennae and NR (104j) receive antennae where NT>NR that ensure the transmit power on each antenna is the same, without appreciable loss in performance. Additionally, a technique is provided for choosing fewer beamforming vectors than frequency bins in an OFDM system.
