Systems and methods for reconstructing steering matrices in a mimo-ofdm system

Abstract

Embodiments provide a system and method for reconstructing steering matrices in a MIMO-OFDM (multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) system by interpolating steering matrices in transmit beamforming. The reconstructed steering matrices provide a faithful representation to the actual steering matrices. Embodiments receive channel information for a subset of sub-carriers of a channel, interpolate the channel information for the subset of sub-carriers to obtain at least one Givens rotation angle for remaining sub-carriers of the channel which are not members of the subset, and reconstruct missing steering matrices from the interpolated angles.
