Abstract:
Various embodiments may be generally directed to antenna array weight vector selection techniques for 60 GHz multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications. In some embodiments, using one or more such techniques, a 60 GHz-capable transmitting device may select respective antenna array weight vectors for two or more transmit antenna arrays, and a 60 GHz-capable receiving device may select respective antenna array weight vectors for two or more receive antenna arrays. In various embodiments, in order to obtain information for use in selecting such antenna array weight vectors, the transmitter and receiver may utilize one or more existing beamforming training algorithms defined for 60 GHz single-input single-output (SISO) communications. In some embodiments, for example, the transmitter and receiver may utilize one or more beamforming training algorithms defined in IEEE 802.11ad-2012. The embodiments are not limited in this context.

Claim (Index 26):
An apparatus, comprising:\n antennas including more than one transmit antennas and more than one receive antennas; and logic, at least a portion of which is comprised in circuitry coupled with the antennas, the logic to: perform multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) beamforming, the MIMO beamforming to:\n perform a transmit sector sweep (TXSS) for the more than one transmit antennas; \n receive a first feedback frame with the feedback for the more than one receive antennas from the wireless communication device; \n determine preferred single-input single-output (SISO) antenna weight vectors (AWVs) for each combination of the more than one transmit antennas and the more than one receive antennas; \n receive frames from more than one antennas of the wireless communication device as part of a TXSS by the wireless communication device; \n transmit a second feedback frame with the feedback for the more than one receive antennas to the wireless communication device; and \n determine a preferred multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) AWV pair for the wireless communication device.
