A base station includes an array of transceiver chains, each characterized by a bandwidth and including a transmit chain and a receive chain. The base station determines, at each center frequency and sub-bandwidth covering the bandwidth: a first set of interchain transmit gain and phase/delay differences across transmit chains; and a first set of interchain receive gain and phase/delay differences across the receive chains. The base station then determines, in a same manner as the first determining: a second set of inter-chain transmit differences; and a second set of inter-chain receive differences. The base station adjusts each transmit chain by the difference between the second set of inter-chain transmit differences and the first set of inter-chain transmit differences. The base station adjust each receive chain by the difference between the second set of inter-chain receive differences and the first set of inter-chain receive differences.

Beamforming calibration

A wireless access point coherently receives signals transmitted from client devices and from interfering devices, measures noise and interference capture samples from the received signals, and computes a characterization of noise plus interference. Receive gains and threshold levels are adjusted based on the computed noise plus interference characterization. A set of weights for an interference suppression spatial filter are calculated from the measured noise and interference capture samples and used to produce a filtered signal by spatially filtering the received signals such that interference is spatially nulled in the filtered signal. The method may also include setting PHY parameters at the wireless access point based on the computed noise plus interference characterization. In some embodiments, a protection transmission is transmitted from the wireless access point, requesting connected client devices to suspend transmissions during a specified time period.

Enhancing WLAN performance in the presence of interference

A method is provided for the direction of arrival (DOA) tracking of at least one source, along a single azimuth axis or along both azimuth and elevation axes. The method includes the steps of selecting all the high peaks from a DOA function as potential track points, converting the potential track points into a plurality of tracks and selecting a true track from the plurality of tracks.
