Abstract:
A wireless cellular base station includes M antennas and one or more processing devices. For each antenna, the antenna transmits a calibration pilot symbol over the air and the other M−1 antennas receive the calibration pilot symbol over the air. The processing devices select one of the M antennas as a reference antenna and for each antenna of the M antennas, the processing devices calculate channel reciprocity calibration coefficients of the antenna with respect to the reference antenna based on the received calibration pilot symbols.
