Abstract
Multi-level beamforming signal processing of frequency-domain in-phase and quadrature data packets by a group of serially-connected transceivers. Packets intended for transmission during some frames are formatted according to subarray-level beamforming, while packets for transmission in other frames are formatted according to a full-dimensional level of beamforming.

1-3. (canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- a beamformer processor configured to generate a first plurality of beamformed frequency domain IQ data packets for transmission in a first signaling interval, the first plurality of beamformed frequency domain IQ data packets formed in accordance with a subarray-level beamforming and (ii) a second plurality of beamformed frequency domain IQ data packets for transmission in a second signaling interval, the second plurality of beamformed frequency domain IQ data packets formed in accordance with a full-dimensional level of beamforming;
- and
- a group of serially-connected transceivers forming a subarray, the group of serially-connected transceivers configured to receive the first and second plurality of beamformed frequency domain IQ data packets, and to process the first plurality of beamformed frequency domain IQ data packets for transmission in the first signaling interval, and to processing the second plurality of beamformed frequency domain IQ data packets for transmission in the second signaling interval.
An apparatus comprising:
- a group of serially-connected transceivers forming a subarray, the group of serially-connected transceivers configured to receive, during a first time interval, a first radio frequency (RF) signal, and to process the first RF signal to generate first local frequency-domain IQ data packets at each transceiver, the group of serially-connected transceivers further configured to receive, during a second time interval, a second RF signal, and to process the second RF signal to generate second local frequency-domain IQ data packets at each transceiver of the group of serially-connected transceivers;
- a combining circuit in at least one of the transceivers configured to combine one of the first local frequency-domain IQ data packets with one or more of the first local frequency-domain IQ data packets from at least one other transceiver;
- a concatenate circuit in at least one of the transceivers configured to concatenate one of the second local frequency-domain IQ data packets with one or more second local frequency-domain IQ data packets from at least one other transceiver;
- and
- a beamformer processor configured to receive the combined first frequency-domain IQ data packets and the concatenated second frequency-domain IQ data packets.
