METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING A MIMOREQUEST MESSAGE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus for transmitting a MIMORequest message in a wireless communication system are described. A MIMORequest message comprising an 8 bit MessageID field, a 2 bit SupportedMIMOMode field wherein the SupportedMIMOMode field indicates the MIMO modes supported by an apparatus transmitting the message and a 6 bit Reserved field is encoded and transmitted over a communication link.
