Abstract

La présente invention augmente la capacité des systèmes sans fil utilisant des récepteurs à accès multiple à répartition d'espace (SDMA) et d'autres procédés pour former les faisceaux d'antennes par la combinaison du traitement pour la modulation/démodulation et la formation de faisceaux numériques adaptatifs dans une unité fonctionnelle unique. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la présente invention combine le traitement pour cette formation de faisceau avec le traitement pour la modulation/démodulation à accès multiple à répartition de code (CDMA) ou la modulation/démodulation par multiplexage à répartition de fréquence orthogonale (OFDM). Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la présente invention met en correspondance la polarisation d'un réseau d'antennes avec le réseau d'un mobile d'intérêt, par l'optimisation séparée de la polarisation, après l'optimisation des pondérations des réseaux d'antennes, ce qui permet d'améliorer sensiblement le rapport porteuse / bruit et interférences après détection (CINR), et augmenter ainsi la capacité de la liaison sans fil, par exemple, dans une liaison CDMA ou OFDM.
