Abstract
A method implemented in a multiple-antenna transceiver includes adapting a plurality of sets of rake coefficients based on a plurality of signals received via a plurality of single-input, multiple-output (SIMO) channels. Each signal of the plurality of signals corresponds to a single signal transmitted by a remote transceiver, and each set of the adapted sets of rake coefficients corresponds to an estimate of a respective one of the plurality of SIMO channels. The method also includes selecting, according to at least one selection criterion, one coefficient from each set of the plurality of sets of rake coefficients, generating a transmit steering vector based on the selected coefficients, and applying the transmit steering vector to a signal to be transmitted to the remote transceiver.
