21. A receiving device for wireless communication, the receiving device comprising:
-
processing circuitry configured to; receive a channel estimation capability indicating a maximum number of space time streams, the channel estimation capability being included in a transmit beamforming capability field of a HT (high throughput) capabilities element defined in wireless network standard IEEE 802.11, wherein the maximum number of space time streams indicated by the channel estimation capability further indicates a number of columns of a channel matrix for MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) communication; and receive signals from a transmitting device based at least in part on information included in the HT capabilities element, so as to establish a wireless communication channel between the transmitting device and the receiving device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
