Throughput conditions limited by multiplicative noise may be improved by distributing a transmission power across MIMO data streams communicated between MIMO communication nodes. In particular, the transmission power is distributed based on knowledge at the transmitter of the MIMO channel to decrease the transmission power allocated to one or more of the data streams associated with a dominant signal path relative to the transmission power allocated to one or more data streams associated with a weaker signal path to increase at least one of a quality and a throughput condition of the MIMO channel.

The method and apparatus disclosed herein improve throughput conditions limited by multiplicative noise by determining precoder weights for each data stream communicated between a MIMO transmitter node and a MIMO receiver node. The precoder weights are determined based on information derived from non-precoded reference symbols to decrease the energy allocated to the dominant signal path relative to the energy allocated to the non-dominant signal paths.

The present invention relates to a method for adapting transmission parameters in a transmitter Tx in communication with at least one antenna 27; 38; 47; 57; 77, 88. The method comprises: transmitting a signal from the transmitter Tx measuring at least one reflection coefficient S11 of said signal for each antenna 27; 38; 47; 57; 77, 88, and adapting the transmission parameters based on the measured reflection coefficient S11. The antenna could be a transmit antenna and/or a receive antenna. In a preferred embodiment antenna calibration may be performed by measuring propagation time for each individual transmitter chain 481, 482; 781, 782, and compensate for differences in time delay between the individual transmitter chains 481, 482; 781, 782 to assure that the signal is transmitted simultaneously from all transmit antennas.

The MIMO method and apparatus disclosed herein improve throughput conditions limited by multiplicative noise by reducing the gain of the data streams associated with one or more dominant signal paths between MIMO communication nodes. As used herein, multiplicative noise refers to any noise dependent on or proportional to a signal strength at a transmitting node and/or a receiving node of a wireless communication network. An additional method and apparatus are included for determining that multiplicative noise limits the throughput conditions.
