Abstract

See full text

A central node may include a processor configured to empirically compute an approximation of power coefficients based on estimates of the channel coefficients such that a same one of the approximation of the power coefficient is assigned to each of a plurality of access terminals (ATs), and transmit components of a signal vector to associated access points (APs), the signal vector being based on at least the approximation of the power coefficient.
