APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION USING BLOCK CODING AND CYCLIC DELAY DIVERSITIES IN THE OFDM BASED CELLULAR SYSTEMS

摘要

An apparatus and method are provided for efficiently supporting transmit diversity for identical broadcast signals transmitted from at least two base stations (BSs) in an OFDM mobile communication system. A radio network controller (RNC) considers a radio channel state of a mobile station (MS) and sends information for implementing diversity to a plurality of BSs located in one cell configured by three sectors. Each of the BSs is provided with at least two transmit antennas. The BSs within the cell perform space-time block coding on data to be transmitted according to the information, apply different cyclic delays to the data, and transmit the data to the MS through the at least two transmit antennas.
