EFFICIENT MULTIPLE INPUT MULTIPLE OUTPUT SYSTEM FOR MULTI-PATH FADING CHANNELS.

摘要

Data is transferred in a wireless communication system, such as a wireless spread spectrum communication system. Data is encoded to produce a plurality of data streams (Fig. 2). For each of a plurality of transmitting antennas (34), the data streams are used to produce a vector for transmission. Each transmission vector is transmitted by its transmitting antenna through a wireless air interface experiencing multipath. Multipath components from each transmitted transmission vector are received by a plurality of receiving antennas (36). The received multiplath components are equalized to recover the transmission vectors. The data is recovered from the recovered transmission vectors.
