The present invention provides a time-orthogonal preamble supplement generator for use with a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter employing N transmit antennas, where N is at least two. In one embodiment, the time-orthogonal preamble supplement generator includes an initial preamble supplement encoder configured to provide a preamble supplement to each of the N transmit antennas during an initial time interval. The time-orthogonal preamble supplement generator also includes a subsequent preamble supplement encoder coupled to the initial preamble supplement encoder and configured to provide the preamble supplement or a negation thereof to the N transmit antennas during (N-1) subsequent time intervals.

A transmit channel (gt1, h, gr2) through which a first wireless communication transceiver is to transmit to a second wireless communication transceiver can be estimated using information indicative of a relationship between the transmit channel and a receive channel (gt2, h, gr1) through which the first wireless communication transceiver receives communications from the second wireless communication transceiver. The relationship information (35) is combined (37) with further information (31) to produce an estimate of the transmit channel.

For use with an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver, the present invention discloses a channel estimator that employs a training sequence received through a channel. In one embodiment, the channel estimator includes a response assesser and a reducer. The response assesser computes a channel impulse response of the channel in a time-domain based on the training sequence. The reducer, coupled to the response assesser, sets designated taps associated with the channel impulse response to substantially zero.

The present invention provides a time-switched preamble supplement generator for use with a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter employing N transmit antennas wherein N is at least two. In one embodiment, the time-switched preamble supplement generator includes an initial preamble supplement formatter configured to provide a first permutation of a set of preamble supplements to the N transmit antennas during an initial time interval. The first permutation includes a single first preamble supplement and at least one second preamble supplement. The time-switched preamble supplement generator also includes a subsequent preamble supplement formatter coupled to the initial preamble supplement formatter and configured to provide (N-1) mutually exclusive further permutations of the set to the N transmit antennas during (N-1) subsequent time intervals.

The present invention provides a channel estimate enhancer for use with a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter employing N transmit antennas, where N is at least two. In one embodiment, the channel estimate enhancer includes a first preamble generator that produces a basic preamble configured to provide gain training and channel estimation sequences to one of the N transmit antennas during initial time intervals. Additionally, the channel estimate enhancer also includes a second preamble generator, coupled to the first preamble generator, that produces supplementary preambles configured to provide a set of gain enhancing channel estimation sequences to each of (N−1) remaining transmit antennas during (N−1) corresponding sets of subsequent time intervals.
