摘要
Multipoint broadcasting relying on channel reciprocity in a TDD network requires that the broadcasters be calibrated. In the cases where the relative amplitude profiles and nonlinear phases are time-invariant or slow-varying, broadcaster calibration reduces to phase synchronization. Methods and apparatus are described that provide broadcaster calibration and phase synchronization with terminal feedback and overcome the drawbacks of self-calibration. The methods and apparatus are capable of calibrating hundreds of broadcaster antennas in massive antenna applications while maintaining an extremely low overhead. Applications of the described methods and apparatus include multipoint broadcasting in wireless networks, also known as coordinated multipoint transmission, or CoMP, in LTE-A (long-term evolution, advanced) networks, and distributed MIMO, massive MIMO, massive beamforming, etc., in other networks including 5G and 802.11. Applications also include frequency and phase synchronization of a cluster of wireless devices.
