SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION OF UNCOMPRESSED HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO DATA USING BEAMFORMING VECTOR FEEDBACK BASED ON HYBRID QUANTIZATION

摘要

A system and method for obtaining a transmit beamforming vector for transmission of high definition video data over a wireless medium is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system comprises a transceiver and a processor configured to i) receive a training signal using the transceiver, ii) obtain a transmit beamforming vector based on the received training signal, iii) divide the transmit beamforming vector into a plurality of segments, wherein at least one of the plurality of segments contains a plurality of elements, iv) perform vector quantization on each of the plurality of segments so as to generate a quantization index for each of the plurality of segments, and v) transmit the quantization indices using the transceiver.
