Abstract
A method for downlink capacity enhancement in a wireless communications system that has a base station with antenna array and terminals that are physically remote from the base station comprises the steps of receiving at the base station antenna array combinations of arriving signals from the plurality of remote terminals, estimating an uplink channel covariance matrix (UCCM) for each of the terminals from the combinations of arriving signals, constructing from each UCCM a downlink channel covariance matrix (DCCM), calculating from the DCCM a downlink weight vector for each of the terminals, transmitting a set of information signals from the base station antenna array according to the downlink weight vectors.
