Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for processing beamforming signals of a passive time-delay structure are disclosed. One apparatus includes a node that includes baseband processing circuitry that is operatative to receive and processes transmission signals, a passive time-delay structure that is preconfigured to generate a plurality of output signal, an antenna array, wherein the antenna array is operative to receive and transmit the plurality of output signals of the passive time-delay structure, wherein delays of the passive time-delay structure provide for the formation of a beamforming pattern by the transmitted plurality of output signals, and a controller. The controller is operative to determine a characterization of the beamforming pattern. The baseband processing circuitry operates to process the transmission signals based at least in part on the characterization of the beamforming pattern, and the node transmits the processed transmission signals to the one or more transceivers.

Claim (Index 1):
A node, comprising:\n baseband processing circuitry that operates to receive and processes transmission signals; a passive time-delay structure that is preconfigured to generate a plurality of output signal, wherein each of the plurality of output signals is a delayed version of a one of the processed transmission signals; an antenna array, wherein the antenna array operates to receive and transmit the plurality of output signals of the passive time-delay structure, wherein delays of the passive time-delay structure provide for the formation of a beamforming pattern by the transmitted plurality of output signals; a controller, the controller operative to characterize the beamforming pattern, comprising the controller operative to: communicate training signals between the node and a plurality of transceivers through the beamforming pattern; characterize the beam forming pattern based on the training signals, receive a characterization of the beamforming pattern from a plurality of transceivers of the training signals, or receive a representation of reception of the training signals by the plurality of transceivers that allows the controller to generate the characterization of the beamforming pattern; and wherein the baseband processing circuitry operates to process the transmission signals based at least in part on the characterization of the beamforming pattern; and wherein the node transmits the processed transmission signals to the one or more transceivers.
