Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of beamformed communication with space block coding. For example, an apparatus may include a controller to control a plurality of antenna subarrays to form a plurality of directional beams directed in a plurality of different directions for communicating a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) wireless transmission, which is encoded according to a space-block coding scheme.
Claims21
(canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory having stored thereon instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to cause a wireless communication station (STA) to:
- encode a stream of data symbols into first and second encoded streams according to a Space-Time-Block-Code (STBC) encoding scheme by encoding a data symbol in the stream of data symbols into a pair of encoded data symbols to be included in the first and second encoded streams, respectively;
- and
- transmit a Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission based on the first and second encoded streams by hybrid beamforming over a Directional Multi-Gigabit (DMG) channel, the hybrid beamforming comprising baseband beamforming and antenna beamforming of an antenna configuration.
A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one processor, enable the at least one processor to cause a wireless communication station (STA) to:
- encode a stream of data symbols into first and second encoded streams according to a Space-Time-Block-Code (STBC) encoding scheme by encoding a data symbol in the stream of data symbols into a pair of encoded data symbols to be included in the first and second encoded streams, respectively;
- and
- transmit a Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission based on the first and second encoded streams by hybrid beamforming over a Directional Multi-Gigabit (DMG) channel, the hybrid beamforming comprising baseband beamforming and antenna beamforming of an antenna configuration.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for causing a wireless communication station (STA) to encode a stream of data symbols into first and second encoded streams according to a Space-Time-Block-Code (STBC) encoding scheme by encoding a data symbol in the stream of data symbols into a pair of encoded data symbols to be included in the first and second encoded streams, respectively;
- and
- means for causing the STA to transmit a Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission based on the first and second encoded streams by hybrid beamforming over a Directional Multi-Gigabit (DMG) channel, the hybrid beamforming comprising baseband beamforming and antenna beamforming of an antenna configuration.
