Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of beamformed communication with space block coding. For example, an apparatus may include a controller to control a plurality of antenna subarrays to form a plurality of directional beams directed in a plurality of different directions for communicating a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) wireless transmission, which is encoded according to a space-block coding scheme.

2. An apparatus comprising a memory and a processor configured to cause a wireless station to:
-
encode a plurality of data symbols into a plurality of encoded streams according to a Space Time Block Coding (STBC) scheme, the plurality of encoded streams comprising at least a first encoded stream and a second encoded stream, the first encoded stream comprising a first data symbol in a first interval and a sign-inverted complex conjugate of a second data symbol in a second interval, the second interval subsequent to the first interval, the second encoded stream comprising the second data symbol in the first interval and a complex conjugate of the first data symbol in the second interval; and control a plurality of antennas of the wireless station to form a plurality of directional beams to transmit a Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission over a directional wireless communication frequency channel, the MIMO transmission comprises transmission of the first encoded stream over a first directional beam and transmission of the second encoded stream over a second directional beam. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
