Patent ID: 8842713

Claim:
A method implemented in a multiple-antenna transceiver, the method comprising: based on a plurality of signals received via a plurality of single-input, multiple-output (SIMO) channels, adapting, in the multiple-antenna transceiver, a plurality of sets of rake coefficients, wherein each signal of the plurality of signals corresponds to a single signal transmitted by a remote transceiver, and wherein each set of the adapted sets of rake coefficients corresponds to an estimate of a respective one of the plurality of SIMO channels; according to at least one selection criterion, selecting, in the multiple-antenna transceiver, one coefficient from each set of the plurality of sets of rake coefficients; generating, in the multiple-antenna transceiver, a transmit steering vector based on the selected coefficients; and applying, in the multiple-antenna transceiver, the transmit steering vector to a signal to be transmitted to the remote transceiver.
