Abstract:
A mode adaptation method for performing mode switching between a single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) mode and a multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) mode includes reporting, by a base station, a MIMO feedback mode to a mobile station, receiving a feedback information determined on the basis of the MIMO feedback mode from the mobile station; and determining a MIMO feedback mode based on the feedback information. The MIMO feedback mode indicates whether it is single-user MIMO or multi-user MIMO and includes a number of mobile stations (MSs) transferred at one time. As a result, the method maximizes a system throughput simultaneously while effectively reducing an amount of feedback information.

Abstract:
A method is disclosed for avoiding inter-cell interference in a closed-loop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system using a plurality of codebooks. A base station of a serving cell transmits information about codebooks used in an interfering cell among the plurality of codebooks to a mobile station. The transmission of the information may be made at the request of the mobile station. Alternatively, the mobile station may directly measure information about codebooks used in the interfering cell among the plurality of codebooks. The mobile station measures restricted precoding matrix indexes (PMIs) or requested PMIs based on the codebook information. The measured PMIs are transmitted to the interfering cell and are used to restrict the use of a PMI in the interfering cell.

Methods of controlling a transmission power and configuring a codebook in a multi-antenna system to solve a transmission power unbalance between antennas are disclosed. The method of transmitting data in a multi-antenna system includes (A) transmitting one or more pilot signals within a first symbol region through a first antenna unit, and (B) transmitting one or more pilot signals within a second symbol region through a second antenna unit, wherein data within the first symbol region is transmitted through the second antenna unit, and data within the second symbol region is transmitted through the first antenna unit. According to the present invention, since a transmission power unbalance between antennas is solved, a transmission power can be uniformly assigned to each antenna and channel estimation can be easily performed. Moreover, a power amplifier having a uniform amplification range can be used and designed.
Abstract:
A method for avoiding an inter-cell interference (ICI) in a multi-cell environment is disclosed. The method includes restricting the use of a PMI in an interfering cell so as to improve a reception performance of a mobile station located at an interfered cell edge. The mobile station measures a restricted-PMI of the interfering cell, which is prohibited from use in the interfering cell, and transmits the measured restricted PMI to the interfering cell. The use of the restricted PMI is prohibited from use in a mobile station in the interfering cell.

A method for transmitting a band bitmap in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes selecting at least one selection band from a plurality of bands, the plurality of bands being distributed throughout a whole frequency band, grouping the plurality of bands into a plurality of band groups, setting a primary bitmap for each band group according to whether the selection band is included in each band group and setting a secondary bitmap for bands in each band group, and transmitting the primary bitmap and the secondary bitmap. Radio resources used to transmit a band bitmap can be reduced by decreasing the number of bits of the band bitmap.
