APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MULTI-ANTENNA TRANSMISSION IN BEAMFORMED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and method for supporting diversity in a beamformed wireless communication system. A method for transmitting a signal in a transmit end includes determining Receive (Rx) beamforming capability information of a receive end, receiving channel information on at least one Transmit (Tx) beam pattern from the receive end, determining at least one Tx beam pattern for transmitting a signal to the receive end, in consideration of Rx beamforming support information of the receive end and the channel information on the at least one Tx beam pattern, and transmitting a signal to the receive end using the at least one Tx beam pattern for transmitting the signal to the receive end.
