Abstract:
1. A wireless network device comprising: matrix modules configured to (i) receive modulated data streams, and (ii) generate matrices, wherein each of the matrix modules is configured to (i) generate one of the matrices based on channel conditions between the wireless network device and a corresponding one of a plurality of client stations, and (ii) apply the one of the matrices to each of the modulated data streams to generate multiplexed data streams; summing modules, wherein each of the summing modules is configured to sum at least two of the multiplexed data streams to generate a transmit data stream; a first transmitter configured to transmit a first one of the transmit data streams during a downlink transmission period to a first one of the plurality of client stations; and a second transmitter configured to transmit a second one of the transmit data streams to a second one of the client stations while the first transmitter transmits the first one of the transmit data streams.
