Abstract

A method and system of training a communication system is disclosed. The method includes a first transceiver transmitting signals through one or more antennas of the first transceiver. A second transceiver selects a subset of a plurality of antennas of the second transceiver, wherein the selected subset provides a largest aggregate received signal power. The second transceiver transmits pilots on a subset of sub-carriers of multi-carrier signals through the selected subset of the plurality of antennas of the second transceiver. The first transceiver receives the pilots, and extracts channel knowledge from the received pilots.
