Abstract:
A data reception apparatus and method for generating and transmitting feedback information in a multi-antenna system using grouped antennas, and a data transmission apparatus and method for transmitting a data stream of a user according to a transmission mode selected depending on the feedback information is disclosed. The reception apparatus generates feedback information depending on maximum channel quality information, an antenna group index associated with the maximum channel quality information, rank information, and remaining channel quality information associated with the rank information, and transmits the feedback information to the transmission apparatus. The transmission apparatus selects one of a multi-user mode and a single-user mode as a transmission mode depending on the feedback information and transmits a data stream of a user via multiple antenna groups or one antenna group, according to the selected transmission mode.

In the mobile communication apparatus, the base station restores from feedback signals transmitted from the mobile stations weight information determined in the mobile stations, generates from the restored weight information downlink control information ensuring maximum throughput to each of the mobile stations, and selects from among data of all of the mobile stations data of a desired mobile station(s) to be transmitted, based on the downlink control information. Each of each of the mobile stations has at least one mobile station antenna, the base station has at least two base station antennas, and the downlink control information includes mobile station selection information, an optimal basis matrix index, and optimal gain indices. As a result, nominal peak throughput in multi-antenna mobile communications can be efficiently achieved at low costs.
