    Abstract: A communications device is provided including a transmitter unit configured to transmit at least two transmit signals via a transmission channel; a precoder unit configured to beamform the transmit signals based on a precode matrix that is adapted to reduce a signal level at at least one location in an area of the transmission channel; and an amplifier adapted to amplify at least one of the transmit signals to a value that results in a signal level at the at least one location that is below a predetermined signal level. A corresponding method for transmitting at least two parallel transmit signals is provided as well.

    Abstract: In a MIMO communications system a first communications device applies beamforming to a complete transmission packet including both synchronization data and either payload data or training symbols. A second communications device evaluates the beamformed synchronization data and determines and transmits a feedback information indicating minimum required synchronization data and/or a minimum number of training symbols. The first communications device tailors the synchronization data and/or number of training symbols on the basis of the feedback information. Beamforming the complete transmission packet facilitates signal suppression at defined locations. When the channel properties change, the second communications device may provide further channel state information to adapt beamforming in the first communications device without transmission of not beamformed training symbols. The communications system may be a powerline telecommunications system.
