    摘要: A large scale multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communications device includes a first plurality of antenna units (AUs) arranged in an array, and a central processing unit operatively coupled to a first end AU in the first plurality of AUs. Each AU in the first plurality of AUs is operatively coupled to at least two neighboring AUs, and wherein each AU receives wireless signals, receives neighbor information from at least a first neighboring AU, generates local information associated with the AU in accordance with the received wireless signals and the neighbor information, and sends the local information associated with the AU to a second neighboring AU. The central processing unit receives local information associated with the first end AU, and generates estimates of the received transmissions in accordance with the local information associated with the first end AU.

    摘要: A method for associating signal sources and paths includes determining secondary paths of a signal received at a reception point, wherein the signal reflects off one or more reflective surfaces before being received at the reception point, determining mirror sources of the secondary paths in accordance with locations of the one or more reflective surfaces and a main source of the signal, determining associations between the secondary paths and the mirror sources based on cross points at which the signal reflected off the one or more reflective surfaces, thereby obtaining path-source associations, and instructing use of the path-source associations in multi-source channel estimation.
