APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A SOUNDING ANTENNA SWITCHING SCHEME IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

In a mobile communication system, an Advanced Mobile Station (AMS) sends, to an Advanced Base Station (ABS), a message including information indicating whether the AMS supports a sounding antenna switching scheme. If the information indicates that the AMS supports the sounding antenna switching scheme, the message including the information includes information indicating an antenna configuration that the AMS desires to use in a sounding antenna switching operation.
