Abstract:
1. A method for communicating a signal, comprising: establishing one or more quality indicators at a first communication device, the first communication device comprising a plurality of antenna elements, the one or more quality indicators indicating a quality of one or more communication links between the first communication device and one or more second communication devices; determining a modification according to the one or more quality indicators, the modification describing at least one adjustment of one or more modulation features of phase difference and power ratio; establishing the availability of the one or more quality indicators; and initiating modulation of at least a subset of a plurality of signals, said modulation synchronized in response to establishing the availability of the one or more quality indicators, the subset of the plurality of signals modulated in accordance with the determined modification, a signal of the plurality of signals associated with an antenna element of the plurality antenna elements, the plurality of antenna elements operable to send the plurality of signals over the same frequency carrier to yield a transmitted signal, wherein the one or more quality indicators indicate a quality of said transmitted signal from the first communication device to the one or more second communication devices.
