The information includes, inter alia, capabilities of the access point and the client, working channel information of the access point, link quality metrics of the client in the other bands etc.

Abstract: System and method for dimension reduction and for channel and interference condition feedback in a Multi-User Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MU MIMO) wireless communication system. The method for dimension reduction includes determining a number of virtual antennas, vk, for beamformees pertaining to a multi user (MU) transmission group, reducing the dimension of said matrix by selecting a sub-set of antennas or by Eigen mode selection and sending a reduced dimension candidate transmit beamforming matrix or an effective channel matrix to a beamformer. The method for channel and interference condition feedback Interference condition includes sending to a beamformee metric indicative of the interference level from other streams.

Abstract: System and method for enhancing performance of a wireless communication system, including communicating between an access point and at least one close client over a first RF channel, and communicating between an access point and at least one remote client via a repeater. The communication between the access point and the at least one remote client via the repeater includes communicating between an access point and the repeater over the first RF channel and communicating between the repeater and the at least one remote client over a second RF channel. The communication between the access point and the at least one close client over the first RF channel is substantially contemporaneous with the communication between the repeater and the at least one remote client over the second RF channel.

Abstract: System and method for backoff correction of channel quality information (CQI). A correction factor is calculated based on a goodness measure such as packet error rate (PER). The selection of modulation and coding scheme (MCS) is made considering the channel quality information (CQI) adjusted by the correction factor. A meaningful goodness measure can be imposed if the goodness measure is very low. A different correction factor can be calculated for different confidence levels, MCSs and transmission modes.
