Abstract

See full text

Described herein is a method for obtaining a downlink beamforming weighting vector in a wireless communications system based on channel information about an uplink channel. The method comprises obtaining the channel information about the uplink channel by a means selected from the group comprising of training signals, pilot signals, and data signals, wherein the uplink channel comprises a set of uplink sub-channels, calculating a spatial signature of the uplink channel with the channel information, and computing a downlink beamforming weighting vector of a downlink channel with the spatial signature of the uplink channel, wherein the downlink channel comprises a set of downlink sub-channels that share few or no sub-carriers with the set of uplink sub-channels.
