Abstract
For signal transmission, a pre-processing device performs a wavefront multiplexing (WVM) transform on M input streams corresponding to M orthogonal beams to generate N output streams using a weight matrix having M beam weight vectors (BWVs) associated with the M orthogonal beams. An antenna array having N elements transmits the N output streams to a plurality of receivers. For signal reception, an antenna array having N elements receives N input streams from a plurality of transmitters. A post-processing device performs a wavefront de-multiplexing (WVD) transform on the N input streams corresponding to M orthogonal beams to generate M output streams using a weight matrix having M beam weight vectors (BWVs) associated with the M orthogonal beams. M and N are positive integers and 1<M≤N. The M BWVs are calculated using an optimization procedure based on performance constraints.
