Open loop power control performing method for use in transmitter, involves increasing overall transmission power level of transmission signal when acknowledgement is not received within preset number of antenna weight adjustments

摘要

The method involves multiplying selected antenna weights to produce a weighted transmission signal. The weighted signal is transmitted using an initial overall transmission power. The antenna weights in the transmission signal are adjusted. The transmission signal is retransmitted until a satisfactory signal strength acknowledgement is received from an intended receiver. The overall transmission power level of the transmission signal is increased when the acknowledgement is not received within a preset number of antenna weight adjustments. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a multi-antenna transmitter comprising a signal generator (2) an integrated circuit comprising a signal generator.
