Zusammenfassung:Systems, devices and methods for providing communications between a beamforming access point and a non-beamforming device are provided. The access point determines a beamforming steering matrix from a feedback matrix received from a beamforming device located at a given position, and controls the communication interface to beam form using the beamforming steering matrix to communicate with a non-beamforming device located at the given position. A beamforming device may receive an identifier and characteristics of a non-beamforming device in wireless communication therewith, determine, from the characteristics, a feedback matrix of the non-beamforming device, and transmit the feedback matrix to an access point.
