METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING A SIGNAL FROM A BASE STATION HAVING A PLURALITY OF ANTENNAS

摘要

To provide a system having an improved performance, there are provided a method and apparatus for use in a wireless communication system which includes a base station having a plurality of transmitting antennas, a first terminal supporting a first antenna system, and a second terminal supporting a second antenna system. In particular, at least one of the first and second terminals acquires information that is contained in a signal from the base station, and the signal from the base station is received through a first wireless resource region and a second wireless resource region. The first terminal acquires the information contained in the first and second wireless resource regions through a signal that is transmitted by a transmitting antenna in a first group among the plurality of antennas. The second terminal acquires the information contained in the first wireless resource region through a signal that is transmitted by a transmitting antenna in the first group, and the information contained in the second wireless resource region through a signal that is transmitted by a transmitting antenna in the first group and/or in a second group among the plurality of transmitting antennas. The transmitting antenna in the second group can be allocated for the second terminal.
