Embodiment Construction

[0017] Although the invention is shown below with respect to a limited number of examples, it will be understood that the invention can be applied to any telecommunications technology with any number of access schemes. These access technologies include Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDM-MA) and In any combination thereof, these access techniques can be synchronous or asynchronous, using frequency division duplex (FDD) or time division duplex (TDD).

[0018] The present invention provides an improved wireless communication system that benefits from both diversity and beamforming gains. Furthermore, given the antenna structure, the correlation between antennas is considered, and an optimization scheme for combining diversity / spatial multiplexing and beamforming is developed. Therefore, when using both beamforming and diversity / spatial multip...

Abstract

A system and method are provided for configuring an antenna array having a predetermined number of antennas. After providing an antenna correlation matrix for all antennas with regard to a mobile terminal, the antenna array is virtually partitioned into two or more sub-arrays based on the antenna correlation matrix such that correlations among antennas within each sub-array are higher than correlations among antennas belonging to different sub-arrays. One or more beamf orming weights are generated corresponding to each antenna within the sub-arrays for applying to one or more signals transmitted therefrom, and at least one predetermined multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) mechanism is further applied among the sub-arrays by treating each sub-array as a virtual antenna.
