Abstract:
A transceiver utilizes a spatial spreading matrix to distribute two or more encoded spatial data streams to multiple antennas. The spatial spreading matrix satisfies one or more of the following two constraints: (a) the ratio of squared norms of the sum of the components of a row, for different rows of the spatial spreading matrix, is equal to a first constant sequence, and (b) the ratio of squared norms of the sum of a symbol Sl to be transmitted, when the symbol Sl is equal to 1 or −1, multiplied by each of the components of a row, for different rows of the spatial spreading matrix, is equal to a second constant sequence.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for estimating a frequency response of a channel. The method includes adjusting phase components of estimates of the frequency response to provide phase-adjusted estimates; performing a smoothing operation on the phase-adjusted estimates to provide smoothed phase-adjusted estimates; and generating an output of a reverse phase adjustment, wherein the reverse phase adjustment is performed on the smoothed phase-adjusted estimates.
