Method and system for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel estimation

摘要

Various aspects of a method for and system for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel estimation are presented. Aspects of a method for computing channel estimates in a radio frequency (RF) communications system may comprise decomposing a direct matrix computation into a plurality of constituent matrices, and jointly computing a plurality of channel estimates for a corresponding plurality of channel estimate streams received via a plurality of RF channels based on at least a portion of the plurality of constituent matrices. Aspects of a system for computing channel estimates in an RF communications system may comprise a receiver that decomposes a direct matrix computation into a plurality of constituent matrices, and jointly computes a plurality of channel estimates for a corresponding plurality of channel estimate streams received via a plurality of RF channels based on at least a portion of the plurality of constituent matrices.
