Midamble allocations for mimo transmissions

Abstract

Allocation of multiple training sequences transmitted in a MIMO timeslot from multiple transmit antenna elements is provided. For example, a method of generating signals in a MIMO timeslot, the method comprising: selecting a first training sequence; preparing a first data payload; generating a first signal including the prepared first data payload and the first training sequence; transmitting the first signal in a MIMO timeslot from a first antenna of a network element; selecting a second training sequence, wherein the second training sequence is different from first training sequence; preparing a second data payload; generating a second signal including the prepared second data payload and the second training sequence; and transmitting the second signal in the MIMO timeslot from a second antenna of the network element.

1 . A method of generating signals in a MIMO timeslot, the method comprising:
 selecting a first training sequence;   preparing a first data payload;   generating a first signal including the prepared first data payload and the first training sequence;   transmitting the first signal in a MIMO timeslot from a first antenna of a network element;   selecting a second training sequence, wherein the second training sequence is different from first training sequence;   preparing a second data payload;   generating a second signal including the prepared second data payload and the second training sequence; and   transmitting the second signal in the MIMO timeslot from a second antenna of the network element.
