Abstract

A cellular communications system includes a base station and at least one mobile station communicating therewith. The base station may include a plurality of antennas and a modulator for providing a transmit signal for each antenna. The modulator may estimate a weighting factor for each transmit signal based upon considering each transmit signal as having an unknown and arbitrary fading factor associated therewith and based upon considering the unknown and arbitrary fading factors to have a predetermined cross-correlation function.
