WIRELESS TRANSCEIVER STATION THAT PERFORMS MULTI-PATH RECIPROCITY CALIBRATION WITH MULTIPLE REFERENCE ANTENNAS
In a wireless transceiver station having M antennas, designate an antenna as a target reference antenna (TRA) and for each antenna m other than the TRA: define N distinct paths from antenna m to TRA through zero or more intermediate reference antennas, N is two or more, each distinct paths has a dis...

Summary: | In a wireless transceiver station having M antennas, designate an antenna as a target reference antenna (TRA) and for each antenna m other than the TRA: define N distinct paths from antenna m to TRA through zero or more intermediate reference antennas, N is two or more, each distinct paths has a distinct associated set of one or more antenna pairs; for each antenna pair of the sets, estimate an effective forward and backward channel response by sending calibration pilots forth and back between the antenna pair and calculate a reciprocity coefficient for the antenna pair using the estimated channel responses; for each of the N distinct paths, calculate a reciprocity coefficient estimate using the reciprocity coefficients calculated for the set of antenna pairs associated with the path; and combine the N calculated reciprocity coefficient estimates to produce a final reciprocity coefficient estimate for antenna pair (m, target reference antenna). |
