Abstract

A receiving device for use in a wireless OFDM communication system comprises two or more receive antennas for receiving OFDM signals received over a channel from a transmission device having two or more transmit antennas and applying transmit beamforming, and circuitry configured to perform channel estimation to estimate the channel, generate transmit beamforming information based on the channel estimation, said transmit beamforming information comprising beamforming information per subcarrier or time domain tap, determine a reduced set of transmit beamforming information from said transmit beamforming information, wherein said reduced set comprises beamforming information for a reduced set of subcarriers in the frequency domain or for a reduced set of taps in the time domain, wherein the subcarriers of said reduced set or the taps of said reduced set are determined based on an error criterion, and feed back the reduced set of transmit beamforming information to the transmission device.
