Abstract

See full text

A system for dynamically adapting the communication characteristics of a multiple antenna system (MAS) with multi-user (MU) transmissions (defined with the acronym MU-MAS), such as a distributed-input distributed-output (DIDO) communication system. For example, a system according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: one or more coding modulation units to encode and modulate information bits for each of a plurality of wireless client devices to produce encoded and modulated information bits; one or more mapping units to map the encoded and modulated information bits to complex symbols; and a MU-MAS or DIDO configurator unit to determine a subset of users and a MU-MAS or DIDO transmission mode based on channel characterization data obtained through feedback from the wireless client devices and to responsively control the coding modulation units and mapping units.
