Abstract

A radio communication system has a communication channel with many paths between two terminals having many antennas. One of the terminals has a receiver and a transmitter, where the receiver is configured to determine the directions from which the strongest signals arrive from the other terminal, corresponding to particular paths. The transmitter separates a signal for transmission into sub-streams and transmits each sub-stream in the respective directions determined by the receiver.
