BEAMFORMING TECHNIQUE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240259065 titled 'BEAMFORMING TECHNIQUE
The abstract describes a technique for performing beamformed transmission and reception on a radio channel. The method involves channel estimation, determining candidates for beamforming weights, and selecting the resolution for computing the beamforming weights based on the associated loss in terms of bit error rate.
- Channel estimation of the radio channel is performed to determine the channel state.
- A list of candidates is generated for the frequency domain resolution of beamforming weights.
- Each candidate is associated with a loss in terms of bit error rate depending on the channel state.
- Beamformed transmission and reception are performed using the computed beamforming weights.
- The resolution for computing the beamforming weights is selected from the list of candidates based on the associated loss in terms of bit error rate.
