METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATING FEEDBACK INFORMATION IN A MULTIPLE USER MULTIPLE INPUT MULTIPLE OUTPUT (MU-MIMO) COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for processing signals, the method comprising:
- in a user equipment (UE) device;
generating a multiband feedback report, said multiband feedback report comprising feedback data for a plurality of radio frequency (RF) channel bands, wherein each of said plurality of RF channel bands comprises a plurality of frequency tones within a corresponding channel bandwidth; and
transmitting said multiband feedback report.

Abstract
A method and system for communicating feedback information in a multiple user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) communication system are presented. In one aspect of the method and system, a beamformer station may communicate a feedback information request to a plurality of beamformee stations. The feedback information request may request feedback data for a plurality of RF channel bands. The RF channel bands may form a multichannel. The beamformer may subsequently transmit a plurality of signals utilizing the RF channel bands within the multichannel. Each of the beamformees may receive the plurality of subsequently transmitted signals. A beamformee may generate the requested feedback data for each RF channel band within the multichannel. The beamformee may generate a beamforming report, which comprises the feedback data, which is generated across the plurality of RF channel bands in the multichannel. The beamformee may transmit the beamforming report to the beamformer.
