Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus are provided for communicating pseudo-orthogonal pilot tones in a multiple antenna communication system. Data is transmitted in a multiple antenna communication system having N transmit antennas by generating a number of pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas, wherein the pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas are pseudo-orthogonal with each other; and transmitting the data on each of the N transmit antennas. The pilot tones are generally embedded in the data. Data is received in a multiple antenna communication system having N transmit antennas by receiving the data on each of the N transmit antennas, wherein the data includes a number of pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas, wherein the pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas are pseudo-orthogonal with each other. The pilot tones can be orthogonal in the frequency domain, time domain, spatial domain, or all of them.
