Abstract

Specifically, a method and system that performs MIMO and beamforming at a base station based on an uplink channel sounding (ULCS) from only one of the mobile station antennas and closed-loop multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) schemes based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the channel matrix. The ULCS is limited to sounding and the channel uses fewer than an optimal number of transmit antennas (e.g. one for WiMAX). The base station arrays may be configured for a full array transmitting mode or a sub-array transmitting mode.
