Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of beamformed communication with space block coding. For example, an apparatus may include a controller to control a plurality of antenna subarrays to form a plurality of directional beams directed in a plurality of different directions for communicating a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) wireless transmission, which is encoded according to a space-block coding scheme.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a controller configured to select, based at least on a throughput criterion, between a space-block coding scheme and an open-loop multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) scheme for processing a MIMO wireless transmission, the controller configured to control a plurality of antenna subarrays to form a plurality of directional beams directed in a plurality of different directions for communicating said MIMO wireless transmission, which is enco…
