Abstract
Techniques are provided to facilitate the computation of beamforming weights used by a first communication device when sending a transmission via a plurality of antennas to a second communication device where knowledge of the behavior of the channel between the first communication device and the second communication device is limited to a portion of a wide frequency band. A frequency extrapolation beamforming weight computation process is provided to derive knowledge in other frequency subbands based on information contained in the received transmission from the second communication device.
