Abstract

A communication device for transmitting orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signals in a wireless communication system. The device includes a plurality of antenna elements that transmit the OFDM signals to a receiver over a plurality of transmission channels in the wireless communication system. The device also generates weight coefficients applied to each of the plurality of subcarrier signals, and controls an amplitude and/or phase of the plurality of subcarrier signals as a function of said weight coefficients.

Claims (24)

1. A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:

obtaining, by circuitry of the electronic device, based on a received preamble signal, a vector for adjusting a plurality of subcarrier signals;

adjusting, by the circuitry, each of the plurality of subcarrier signals based on the vector to optimize reception power;

transforming, by an inverse fast Fourier transformer of the electronic device, the plurality of subcarrier signals into an orthogonal frequency divisional multiplexed (OFDM) signal using inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT); and

outputting the OFDM signal via a plurality of antennas of the electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the vector includes coefficients that are applied to each of the plurality of subcarriers.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the vector is obtained based on a channel property in accordance with an Eigenvector of a matrix.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the vector is obtained based on a channel property in accordance with an Eigenvector of a Hermitian matrix.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the preamble signal.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:

obtain, based on a received preamble signal, a vector for adjusting a plurality of subcarrier signals;

adjust each of the plurality of subcarrier signals based on the vector to optimize reception power;

transform the plurality of subcarrier signals into an orthogonal frequency divisional multiplexed (OFDM) signal using inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT); and

output the OFDM signal via a plurality of antennas of the electronic device.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein

the vector includes coefficients that are applied to each of the plurality of subcarriers.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein

the vector is obtained based on a channel property in accordance with an Eigenvector of a matrix.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein

the vector is obtained based on a channel property in accordance with an Eigenvector of a Hermitian matrix.
