METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A DISTRIBUTED CONFIGURABLE TRANSCEIVER ARCHITECTURE AND IMPLEMENTATION
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- in a communication device comprising a plurality of distributed transceivers and one or more corresponding antenna arrays;
configuring a first distributed transceiver of said plurality of distributed transceivers to receive signals comprising one or more first data streams;
configuring a second distributed transceiver of said plurality of distributed transceivers to receive signals comprising one or more second data streams; and
adjusting one or more components within a receive processing chain of said first distributed transceiver and/or one or more components within a receive processing chain of said second distributed transceiver to maximize beamforming gain for said one or more first data streams and/or said one or more second data streams.

Abstract
In communication device comprising a plurality of distributed transceivers and one or more corresponding antenna arrays, a first distributed transceiver is configured to receive signals comprising one or more first data streams and a second distributed transceiver is configured to receive signals comprising one or more second data streams. One or more components within a transmit processing chain of the first distributed transceiver and/or one or more components within a transmit processing chain of the second distributed transceiver are adjusted to maximize beamforming gain for the one or more first data streams and/or second data streams. A phase of the one or more first data streams and/or the one or more second data streams may be adjusted by the one or more components within a transmit processing chain of the first distributed transceiver and/or the one or more components within a transmit processing chain of the second distributed transceiver.
