Content of the second field is determined based on whether the packet is generated based on the single user transmission scheme or the multi user transmission scheme, the second field indicates a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index used for the packet if the packet is generated based on the single user transmission, and the second field indicates an encoding scheme applied to the at least one receiving station if the packet is generated based on the multi user transmission scheme. | 01-22-2015 |
20150063289 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL IN MIMO WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND APPARATUS THEREFOR - A method for transmitting a sounding reference signal in a MIMO wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor are disclosed. The method for transmitting sounding reference signals (SRSs) in a MIMO wireless communication system comprises receiving sounding reference signal parameters from a base station; receiving information of the number of sounding reference signals which will be transmitted at a transmission time instant from the base station; if a plurality of sounding reference signals are provided, generating the sounding reference signals corresponding to each of the plurality of antennas by using the sounding reference signal parameters; and transmitting the generated sounding reference signals to the base station through their corresponding antennas at a specific transmission instant. | 03-05-2015 |
20150063294 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING REFERENCE SIGNALS IN A DOWNLINK MULTIPLE INPUT MULTIPLE OUTPUT SYSTEM - A method for transmitting, by a base station, configuration information for a reference signal for channel measurement. The method according to one embodiment includes transmitting, to a user equipment, first resource information for indicating a first pattern, first subframe information for indicating a first subframe, second resource information for indicating a second pattern, and second subframe information for indicating a second subframe. The first subframe information includes information indicating a first periodic interval, and the second subframe information indicates information indicating a second periodic interval. Each of the first and second subframes is comprised of two slots—slot 0 and slot 1, and each of the first and second reference signal time-frequency resources is within two OFDM symbols other than OFDM symbols 0, 1, 2, and 3 of the slot 0 and other than OFDM symbols 0, 1, and 3 of the slot 1. | 03-05-2015 |
