Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: determining a quality metric for each of a plurality of data streams based on different blocks of data for each data stream being permuted and transmitted over different ones of a plurality of antennas; determining a condensed quality metric based on the quality metric for each of the plurality of data streams, wherein the condensed quality metric comprises a reference quality metric and at least one delta quality metric indicative of quality metrics for the plurality of data streams; transmitting the condensed quality metric to a transmitter; receiving the plurality of data streams transmitted over the plurality of antennas, the blocks of data from each of the plurality of data streams being permuted by transmitting different blocks of data from each data stream over different ones of the plurality of antennas, each data stream being transmitted at a data rate determined based on the condensed quality metric; and inversely permuting the plurality of data streams.
