Abstract
Embodiments herein provide a method for beam steering in a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system. The method includes steering a transmit beam using a precoder matrix determined based on a plurality of parameters, wherein the transmit beam is formed using at least one of a weight of each antenna element, a number of antenna elements, and an inter-antenna element spacing.
Claims16
A method for beam steering in a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system, the method comprising:
- forming and transmitting, by a transmitter, a plurality of transmit beams to at least one receiver;
- obtaining, by the transmitter, at least one optimal transmit beam selected from the plurality of transmit beams by the at least one receiver and at least one of at least one Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) of at least one transmit beam from the plurality of transmit beams, at least one Channel State Information (CSI) of the at least one transmit beam from the plurality of transmit beams, and a location of the at least one receiver;
- and
- steering, by the transmitter, the at least one optimal transmit beam towards the at least one receiver based on the at least one optimal transmit beam selected from the plurality of transmit beams by the at least one receiver and the at least one of the at least one CQI of the at least one transmit beam from the plurality of transmit beams, the at least one CSI of the at least one transmit beam from the plurality of transmit beams, and the location of the at least one receiver.
A transmitter for beam steering in a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system, the transmitter comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor, coupled to the memory, configured to:
- form and transmit a plurality of transmit beams to at least one receiver;
- obtain at least one optimal transmit beam selected from the plurality of transmit beams by the at least one receiver and at least one Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) of at least one transmit beam from the plurality of transmit beams, at least one Channel State Information (CSI) of the at least one transmit beam from the plurality of transmit beams, and a location of the at least one receiver;
- and
- steer the at least one optimal transmit beam towards the at least one receiver based on the at least one optimal transmit beam selected from the plurality of transmit beams by the at least one receiver and the at least one of the at least one CQI of the at least one transmit beam from the plurality of transmit beams, the at least one CSI of the at least one transmit beam from the plurality of transmit beams, and the location of the at least one receiver.
