METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACQUIRING ANTENNA INFORMATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and discloses a method and apparatus for acquiring antenna information. According to the present invention, a method in which user equipment acquires information of a transmission antenna of a base station comprises the steps of: receiving a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) including information which indicates whether or not the base station supports an extended transmission antenna configuration; decoding the received physical broadcast channel, and checking the transmission modes of the physical broadcast channel; and acquiring information of the transmission antenna of the base station from one or more of the transmission modes checked in the previous step and information which indicates whether or not the base station supports an extended transmission antenna configuration.
