Abstract  Abstract

A communications system achieves high bit rates over an actual
communications channel between M transmitter antennas (16a-16c) of a first unit (12)
and N receiver antennas (18a-18c) of a second unit (14), where M or N>1, by creating
virtual sub-channels from the actual communications channel. The multiple antenna
system creates the virtual sub-channels from the actual communications channel by
using propagation information characterizing the actual communications channel at the
first and second units. For transmissions from the first unit (12) to the second unit (14),
the first unit sends a virtual transmitted signal over at least a subset of the virtual sub-channels
using at least a portion of the propagation information. The second unit
retrieves a corresponding virtual received signal from the same set of virtual sub-channels
using at least another portion of said propagation information.
