Claim Text:
1. A method performed by a user terminal of a cellular telecommunication system comprising: receiving, by the user terminal, an indication of an uplink transmission scheme to be used for transmission on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), wherein the indication indicates either a single-antenna transmission scheme or a multi-antenna transmission scheme; determining PUSCH resources of the user terminal for an uplink subframe; allocating at least one control message field to the resources of the PUSCH according to the uplink transmission scheme; and on a condition that the uplink transmission scheme is the multi-antenna transmission scheme, transmitting in the uplink subframe one or more of the at least one control message field via multiple antennas using transmit diversity multi-antenna transmission and concurrently transmitting in the uplink subframe a plurality of different traffic data via the multiple antennas using multi-stream spatial multiplexing.
