MegaMIMO itself is even crazier than it sounds. The multiple transmitters adjust the phase of their transmitted signals so they combine constructively at the intended receiver. That's called a phased array and they've been around for a while. Any WIFI access point with dual antennas is phasing the signal to its antennas. MegaMIMO does the same thing, but with distributed access points by estimating the phase error between transmitter oscillators on the fly. -- rec -- On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 7:58 PM, Owen Densmore <[email protected]> wrote: > The basic idea is a good take on a relatively common strategy.
