Abstract
Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for spatial processing in a remote terminal unit. One embodiment is a wireless remote terminal receiver in a wireless terminal unit for operation in a wireless communication system. The wireless remote terminal receiver includes an antenna array, and a receive processing unit to process signals received by the antenna array by applying a selected spatial processing mode of a plurality of spatial processing modes. The modes include one or more modes of one or more spatial processing methods. The receiver also includes a selector to select the spatial processing mode from the plurality of spatial processing modes. The selecting includes selecting the spatial processing method in the case that the set of spatial processing modes are of more than one spatial processing method.
