Symbol quality estimation for adaptive beam-forming

A method for performing efficient hardware implementation of adaptive beam-forming includes: computing a threshold for a symbol describing a beam; estimate a power for the symbol; using the threshold, select a symbol having a power below the threshold; using the selected symbols, calculating an aver...

Summary:A method for performing efficient hardware implementation of adaptive beam-forming includes: computing a threshold for a symbol describing a beam; estimate a power for the symbol; using the threshold, select a symbol having a power below the threshold; using the selected symbols, calculating an average power of the selected symbols having the second through nth highest powers; using the average power, estimating a symbol quality; transmitting a reference symbol; receiving the reference symbol; using the received reference symbol, estimating an alpha quality; and using one or more of the symbol quality estimate and the alpha quality estimate, computing a weight for one or more of the symbols.
