METHOD AND APPARATUS TO TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE DATA IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM HAVING SMART ANTENNAS

摘要

In a wireless communication system having smart antennas and comprising a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs), a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data comprises a first WTRU transmitting a request for antenna (RFA) frame to a second WTRU. The second WTRU receives the RFA frame and determines a preferred antenna to receive a dataframe transmission. The first WTRU transmits the dataframe on the preferred antenna.
