ABSTRACT:
An arrangement where a transmitter has a plurality of transmitting antennas that concurrently transmit the same symbol, and where the signal delivered to each transmitting antenna is weighted by a factor that is related to the channel transmission coefficients found between the transmitting antenna and receiving antennas. In the case of a plurality of transmit antennas and one receive antenna, where the channel coefficient between the receive antenna and a transmit antenna i is hi, the weighting factor is hi* divided by a normalizing factor, a, which is(∑k=1Khk2)1/2,where K is the number of transmitting antennas. When more than one receiving antenna is employed, the weighting factor is1a(gH)H,where g=[g1. . . gL), H is a matrix of channel coefficients, and α is a normalizing factor(∑p=lL∑q=lL∑k=lKhpkhqk*)1/2.
