WLAN CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT USING SDM

摘要

A method for communication over a wireless local area network (WLAN) (20) includes receiving uplink signals from a plurality of stations (22, 24, 26) in the WLAN. Responsively to the uplink signals, a set of the stations is selected for inclusion in a spatial multiplexing group. Downlink signals are transmitted simultaneously to the stations in the set using spatial division multiplexing (SDM).
