Abstract
A method includes emitting a reference signal following K transmission paths during a first configuration time slot, identifying valid transmission paths among the set of K transmission paths by listening, according to each transmission path of the set, for a feedback reference signal from the second device during the second configuration time slot; and emitting data signals in each communication time slot of which the associated transmission path has been identified as valid.
