<p>A method and entity for controlling the transmission and reception of modulation symbols over a communication network capable of MIMO operation is described. The transmission involves generating a block bundle consisting of at least two distinguishable blocks of modulation symbols, wherein each of the at least two distinguishable blocks of the block bundle is configured according to a single set of one or more block configuration parameters, assigning the modulation symbols of each of the at least two distinguishable blocks of the block bundle to distinguishable layers of a corresponding layer bundle for transmitting the modulation symbols, wherein the number of distinguishable layers in the layer bundle is equal to the number of blocks in the block bundle, and transmitting said modulation symbols and signalling only the single set of one or more block configuration parameters for the block bundle. The reception involves the corresponding inverse operation for reconstructing the modulation symbols.</p> |
