Abstract

A system for acquiring channel knowledge and a method thereof are provided. At least one transmitter generates multiple directional beams in different directions, next modulates the directional beams in the different directions with at least one spreading sequence, so as to enlarge the beam range of each directional beam in the different directions and use the modulated directional beams as training-specific beams in the different directions, and sweeps the multiple training-specific beams in the different directions by using a plurality of antennas, so that at least one receiver measures at least one training-specific beam, and determines the channel knowledge according to the measurement result and beam-related information associated with the at least one training-specific beam, so as to achieve a technical effect of reducing training overhead.
