Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A multipath communication system forms a complex weighted compound signal for transmission through a channel environment wherein the compound signal includes a complex variable weighted compound signal related to a count of available antennas, a power constraint related to each said antenna, and a channel state characteristic.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for transmitting information comprising: providing a communication system having, n transmitting antennas and m receiving antennas, n≦m wherein said communication system is subject to a per-antenna power constraint, said communication system operating to produce a received signal characterized by a vector y, the elements of vector y corresponding to said m receiving antennas respectively, in response to a transmitted signal characterized by a…
