Abstract

See full text

Channel propagation characteristics in a wireless communication system, wherein plural communication links or channels are defined between multiple transmit antenna elements and multiple receive antenna elements, are determined by selecting a matrix of training signals for transmission from the transmit antenna elements, and providing information concerning the selected training signal matrix to a system receiver. The training signals are transmitted from the transmit antenna elements to the receive antenna elements in a determined sequence during a defined training signal time interval, and signals corresponding to the training signals are received via the receive antenna elements. Components of a propagation characteristic matrix for use in discriminating signals transmitted at times other than the training signal time interval, are determined at the receiver as a function of signals received during the training signal time interval and the information concerning the matrix of training signals.
