Abstract:
According to one embodiment there is provided a wireless communication device comprising a plurality of antennas and operable to transmit data on a plurality of subcarriers from one or more of said plurality of antennas over a communication channel, the device comprising a receiver configured to receive signals via each of said plurality of antennas, a processor configured to determine the number of subcarriers that can be allocated to one or more of said plurality of antennas for data transmission on the basis of received signal metrics associated with said received signals, and an antenna selector configured to select one or more of said plurality of antennas for transmitting data on said plurality of subcarriers based on said determination.
