Method and system for optimizing communication in leaky wave distributed transceiver environments
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- in a communication device comprising a plurality of distributed transceivers, each distributed transceiver comprising an antenna array comprising a plurality of antennas;
configuring the plurality of antennas of the antenna array of a first distributed transceiver of said plurality of distributed transceivers to receive signals comprising a combination of first and second data streams from a transmitting device via a first plurality of communication links, said first and second data streams generated by the transmitting device by applying pre-coding on two independent data streams;
configuring the plurality of antennas of the antenna array of a second distributed transceiver of said plurality of distributed transceivers to receive signals comprising said combination of the first and second data streams from the transmitting device via a second plurality of communication links;
determining a channel response matrix for communication of said combination of first and second data streams via said first and second plurality of communication links, the channel response matrix comprising a function of a phase of each of said first and second plurality of communication links; and
optimizing a link capacity of said first and second plurality of communication links, said optimizing comprising changing a phase center of the antenna array of each of the first and second transceivers by activating one or more antennas in each array in order to optimize said function of the phase of each of said first and second plurality of communication links in said determined channel response matrix.

Abstract
A communication device may comprise a plurality of distributed transceivers and one or more corresponding antenna arrays. A processor may configure a first distributed transceiver to receive signals comprising one or more first data streams via one or more first communication links. The processor may configure a second distributed transceiver to receive signals comprising one or more second data streams via one or more second communication links. The processor may determine a channel response matrix associated with communication of the one or more first data streams via the one or more first communication links and/or the one or more second data streams via the one or more second communication links. The processor may optimize one or both of link capacity and/or link reliability of the one or more first communication links and/or the one or more second communication links based on the determined channel response matrix.
