TRANSMISSION METHOD AND MOBILE STATION TO CARRY OUT THE METHOD

摘要

A method, in a cellular radio-communication system comprising a core network and an access network, the access network comprising base stations for providing wireless links to at least one mobile station, the mobile station being capable of operating in a first transmission mode in which beamforming transmit diversity is not used and in a second transmission mode in which beamforming transmit diversity is used. The method comprises switching from the second transmission mode to the first transmission mode upon determining that at least one predetermined criterion related to the mobile station operation in soft handover is satisfied.
