A blind adaptive transmit antenna algorithm for wireless communication

A method is proposed for forming an adaptive phased array transmission beam pattern at a base station without any knowledge of array geometry, path angles or mobile feedback. Estimates of receive vector channels are used to form a transmit weight vector optimization problem. The authors provide closed form solutions for both the single user case and the multiple user case. They show through simulation of a multiple user cellular network that the cooperative transmission network algorithm is capable of improving network frequency re-use capacity by a factor of 5 to 8
