BEAMFORMING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Systems and methods of convergence beamforming are disclosed. One method embodiment, among others, comprises receiving N data streams (315A, 315B) from at least N+l antennas (205-205D), where N is an integer greater than 1; determining signal characteristics (310A, 310B) of each received data stream (315A, 315B); and adjusting the signal characteristics of N data streams to be transmitted based on the determined signal characteristics (310A, 310B) of the received N data streams. The convergence beamforming may be achieved by the orthogonalization of received multipath channel vectors (310A, 310B). The transmission signals from a station (130) are adjusted corresponding to the channel characteristics of the signals received by station (130).
