Abstract
A method of communication using one or more antennas. The method distributes a signal'"'"'s energy over at least one transmission path in response to the air interface characteristics. The energy of the signal is adjusted or weighted by considering the possible transmission paths available. Each available propagation path has a transmissive quality based on the air interface characteristics (e.g., the matrix of propagation coefficients). Consequently, each signal, given its associated energy, is directed along the path(s) in response to its attenuation characteristics, for example, derived from the air interface characteristics.
