Claim Text:
1. A method for communicating pilot signaling, the method comprising: transmitting, by a node B (NodeB), pilot channel signaling in a carrier over at least a first antenna port and a second antenna port, wherein the pilot channel signaling communicated over the first antenna port includes primary common pilot channel (P-CPICH) signaling; determining, by the NodeB, whether de-modulation common pilot channel (D-CPICH) signaling in the carrier has been activated or deactivated on at least one of a third antenna port and a fourth antenna port through high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) shared control channel (HS-SCCH) orders; and transmitting, by the NodeB, the D-CPICH signaling over at least one of the third antenna port and the fourth antenna port when the D-CPICH signaling has been activated on at least one of the third antenna port and the fourth antenna port through the HS-SCCH orders.
