Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and systems for simultaneous communication with multiple wireless communication devices. In some embodiments, a method for simultaneous communication with multiple wireless communication devices includes receiving, using a plurality of antennas at a first wireless station, a plurality of packets, comprised of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless signals, transmitted simultaneously from a plurality of other wireless stations wherein each of the simultaneously transmitted packets includes a plurality of frequency tones, frequency domain transform the received packets, grouping frequency domain transform outputs for each subcarrier, determining a difference between subcarrier groups formed over different sample sets, and determining a set of weights for each subcarrier, wherein the weights are selected such that the first wireless station can at least one of detect or demodulate the received plurality of packets.
