Abstract
A method and system for wireless communication in a network of wireless devices, is disclosed. The network includes multiple stations (STAs) and an access point (AP). Each wireless device includes plural antennas. In one embodiment, multiple stations accessing the access point at the same time using a spatial division multiple access (SDMA) protocol. The SDMA protocol involves performing an iterative antenna training process for obtaining principle singular vectors for beamforming communication over a wireless channel without explicit knowledge of the channel.
