A user terminal (14), a communication network (10, 14), a computer readable medium and a method for selecting at the user terminal (14) a reception and decoding of a transmission mode used by a base station (10), the user terminal (14) receiving communicated information from the base station (10), which has multiple antennas (12), via plural channels, the plural channels including a primary broadcast channel and at least one control channel. The method includes receiving at the user terminal (14) initiating data from the base station (10) via the primary broadcast channel, detecting from the received initiating data whether a first or a second transmission mode is used by the base station (10) for the primary broadcast channel, the first transmission mode indicating that a first number of antennas are used by the base station (10) and the second transmission mode indicating that a second number, different than the first number, of antennas are used by the base station (10) to communicate with the user terminal (14), and using the detected first or second transmission mode of the primary broadcast channel to decode the at least one control channel. |
