Abstract
An apparatus includes a transmitter configured to transmit symbols to one or more receivers via a plurality of communication channels of a physical communication link. The transmitter is configured to estimate a phase of one or more off-diagonal elements of a channel matrix for the physical communication link based on values of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios at the one or more receivers.
