Abstract:
1. A method for receiving data streams using four antennas, comprising the steps of: estimating a channel status for four antennas; calculating a weight value for each of the four antennas using the estimated channel status; calculating a Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) for each of the four antennas using the estimated channel status; calculating a data throughput for each of the four antennas using the SINR; selecting two antenna combinations from the four antennas, wherein the two antenna combinations provide the maximum data throughput; transmitting feedback information to a transmitting end where the four antennas are located, the feedback information related to the selected combination of antennas and the calculated weight value for each of the four antennas; and receiving a data stream S wherein w
