Patent number: 11936453Abstract: Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) data transmissions are provided with a forward-predictive precoding matrix to mitigate the effects of a change in a state of a communication channel. First and second soundings are performed, at first and second times, to a receive antenna over a channel and, responsive to each of the soundings, first and second Channel State Information (CSI) are received. Based on the first and second CSI, a change in a state of the channel over a time period between the first and second time is determined. Based on the change in the state of the channel, a forward-predictive channel state matrix and/or a forward-predictive precoding matrix are determined that reflect a state of the channel at a future time and that are consistent with the determined change in the state over the time period. The forward-predictive precoding matrix is applied to a data transmission.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: John Martin Graybeal, Paul Anthony Polakos, Robert Edward Liston, Wai-Tian Tan, Xiaoqing Zhu
