Selection of training sequences for multiple-in multiple-out transmissions

An electronic device connectable to a plurality of antennas, the electronic device comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• receive a message from a Multiple-In Multiple-Out (MIMO) transmitter, the received message including a training sequence from a set of a plurality of training sequences, the training sequence being uniquely linked to an identity of a cell served by the MIMO transmitter, the set of training sequences including sets with no overlapped training sequences, and each of the no overlapped sets of training sequences being associated with a corresponding one of a plurality of antennas of the MIMO transmitter;
• and
• select an antenna of the plurality of antennas of the MIMO transmitter from which the message is transmitted in response to at least one of:
• the training sequence, and
• information about the no overlapped sets of training sequences,
• wherein the no overlapped sets of training sequences are associated with a first antenna of the plurality of antennas of the MIMO transmitter and are orthogonal with respect to a set of training sequences associated with a second antenna of the plurality of antennas of the MIMO transmitter.
