METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING SIGNAL AND INFORMATION ON ANTENNA, AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE NUMBER OF ANTENNAS

摘要

A base station applies frequency switching transmission diversity and a preceding vector to a synchronization channel and applies a space-frequency block coding and a preceding vector to a broadcast channel. The base station controls the synchronization channel and the broadcast channel to be positioned adjacent each other and then generates and transmits a downlink frame. The base station includes partial information on the number of antennas in the synchronization channel, and other information thereon in the broadcast channel.
