Abstract
Methods and systems for providing beamforming feedback in a communication channel are disclosed. A data packet is received at a beamformee circuitry of the first communication device configured to generate beam steering data for use by a transmitter of a second communication device. Each of a plurality of tones of the received data packet is processed to generate a compressed steering matrix corresponding to the communication channel. In parallel to the processing of the received plurality of tones, an immediate feedback packet comprising a plurality of data symbols is constructed, where the data symbols include the generated compressed steering matrix. At least a first data symbol of the immediate feedback packet is transmitted prior to completing the processing of all the plurality of tones of the received data packet.
