1. In a communication network that comprises a reciprocal channel between a first node and a second node, wherein the first node transmits linearly coded data produced by precoding data with a code vector that is based on measurements of the reciprocal channel; a method comprising:
configuring the second node to for measuring known transmitted symbols that are transmitted by the first node in order to estimate channel coefficients of the reciprocal channel, and employing the channel coefficients in the code vector;
wherein measuring employs a time and frequency that enables the second node to experience same multipath channel distortions as the first node in order to enable the first node and the second node to agree on the code vector;
configuring the second node to receive linearly coded data from the first node, wherein the first node employs the code vector to produce the linearly coded data;
configuring the second node to use the code vector to decode the linearly coded data by solving a system of linear equations.
