Abstract
An antenna adaptation is provided for a communication node as controlled by an antenna adaptation command. The antenna adaptation command adjusts the number of active transmit antennas and/or the number of active receive antennas in the communication node such as for reducing interference at the communication node.
Claims15
A method of wireless communication for a node, comprising:
- during a first antenna adaptation period, transmitting from the node over a transmit set of transmit antennas according to a first data rate and receiving at the node over a receive set of antennas;
- selecting a subset of the transmit antennas in the transmit set responsive to an antenna adaptation command;
- and
- during a second antenna adaptation period, transmitting from the node over the subset of transmit antennas according to a second data rate that is lower than the first data rate.
1 more element
A communication node, comprising:
- a set of transmit antennas;
- a processor configured to process an antenna adaptation command to determine a first subset of transmit antennas from the set of transmit antennas;
- and
- a transceiver configured to transmit through the set of transmit antennas during a first antenna adaptation period at a first data rate and to transmit through the first subset of transmit antennas during a second antenna adaptation period at a second data rate, wherein the first data rate is greater than the second data rate.
