Abstract
A communication device includes a transmitter section that select a coding as either space time block coding (STBC), space frequency block coding (SFBC), hybrid space time/frequency block coding (ST/FBC), or a single stream multi-antenna spatial mapping. The transmitter section generates a transmit signal in accordance with the selected coding and transmits the transmit signal to the remote communication device via a plurality of antennas.
Claims20
A communication device, comprising:
- a baseband processing module to:
- generate a channel estimate of at least one communication pathway between the communication device and the at least one remote communication device having a plurality of transmit antennas;
- and
- based on the channel estimate, generate a feedback signal including a selected one of:
- space time block coding (STBC), space frequency block coding (SFBC), hybrid space time/frequency block coding (ST/FBC), and single stream multi-antenna spatial mapping;
- a transmitter, coupled to the baseband processing module to:
- transmit the feedback signal to the remote communication device.
