Patent ID: 8264407

Claim:
A method comprising: decompressing, at a transceiver system, a plurality of stored beamforming steering matrices, wherein the beamforming steering matrices are associated with a plurality of subcarriers of an RF signal received at the transceiver system; determining, at the transceiver system, a phase difference between corresponding beamforming steering vectors of each pair of consecutive beamforming steering matrices of the plurality of beamforming steering matrices; performing, at the transceiver system, phase rotation on the corresponding beamforming steering vectors of each pair of consecutive beamforming steering matrices based on the determined phase difference associated with the corresponding beamforming steering vectors of each pair of consecutive beamforming steering matrices to improve phase continuity between consecutive beamforming steering matrices; interpolating, at the transceiver system, the beamforming steering matrices to ungroup the beamforming steering matrices; and applying, at the transceiver system, the beamforming steering matrices to data to be transmitted by the transceiver system to generate beamformed data streams.
