Antenna array weight vector selection techniques for 60 GHz MIMO communications
Abstract:
Various embodiments may be generally directed to antenna array weight vector selection techniques for 60 GHz multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications. In some embodiments, using one or more such techniques, a 60 GHz-capable transmitting device may select respective antenna array weight vectors for two or more transmit antenna arrays, and a 60 GHz-capable receiving device may select respective antenna array weight vectors for two or more receive antenna arrays. In various embodiments, in order to obtain information for use in selecting such antenna array weight vectors, the transmitter and receiver may utilize one or more existing beamforming training algorithms defined for 60 GHz single-input single-output (SISO) communications. In some embodiments, for example, the transmitter and receiver may utilize one or more beamforming training algorithms defined in IEEE 802.11ad-2012. The embodiments are not limited in this context.
