Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating a statistical profile of a MIMO channel. Packets of information may be transmitted over an interval of time to a plurality of stations using a plurality of MIMO modes. Each packet may be binned and a goodput value corresponding to the bin, the station and the MIMO mode may be determined stored.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for communication in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system comprising: transmitting a first packet of information to a first station using a first MIMO mode at a first transmission time; binning the first packet in a first bin based on the first transmission time relative to a periodically recurring event, the first bin having a predefined duration; receiving an acknowledgment from the first station indicating successful transmission…
