Patent ID: 7155231

Claim:
An apparatus, operable with a plurality of antennas, each antenna for transmitting one of a plurality of conditioned signals, each of the conditioned signals generated by conditioning an information signal in accordance with one of a plurality of parameter sets, the apparatus comprising: a pre-correction processor for generating the plurality of parameter sets in response to a plurality of channel estimates and a noise floor estimate, wherein the plurality of parameter sets comprises a plurality of weighting factors, each weighting factor corresponding to one of a plurality of antenna/path pairs, where each antenna/path pair is associated with one of the plurality of antennas and one of a plurality of transmitted paths, wherein the plurality of parameter sets further comprises a plurality of delay values, each delay value associated with one of the plurality of transmitted paths, and wherein the apparatus further comprises a plurality of delay elements, each delay element for delaying the information signal in response to one of the plurality of delay values to produce a plurality of path signals; a plurality of multipliers, each multiplier for weighting one of the plurality of path signals in response to one of the plurality of weighting factors, to produce a plurality of weighted path signals for each of the plurality of antennas; and a plurality of summers, each summer for summing the plurality of weighted path signals corresponding to one of the plurality of antennas to produce one of the plurality of conditioned signals.
