Abstract
Various aspects relate generally to wireless communication and more particularly to beamforming techniques in wireless communication networks. Some aspects more specifically relate to beamforming techniques for uplink MU-MIMO communications, and the techniques can include UL MU-MIMO precoding using per-STA feedback. In some examples, an AP can support STA-side precoding for UL MU-MIMO communications by providing STAs with feedback representative of unitary matrices that correspond to block diagonal components of a matrix projection of channel matrices for the STAs in accordance with a linear equalizer. In some examples, the AP can trigger the STAs to transmit sounding packets concurrently, but can use the block diagonal matrix projection to process the various STAs' channels independently.
