Claim:
1. A subscriber station, comprising: a receive path circuitry configured to receive a downlink transmission grant and a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) from a base station, the downlink transmission grant using at least one of a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) and a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS)C-RNTI, wherein, if the downlink transmission grant is acquired using the C-RNTI, and if the downlink transmission grant utilizes a first downlink control information (DCI) format, then the receive path circuitry is configured to determine that transmission of the PDSCH by the base station uses a transmit diversity transmission scheme or a single antenna-port scheme, if the downlink transmission grant is acquired using the C-RNTI, and if the downlink transmission grant utilizes a second DCI format, then the receive path circuitry is configured to determine that transmission of the PDSCH by the base station uses a dual-dedicated reference signal (DRS) port transmission scheme or a single-DRS port transmission scheme, if the downlink transmission grant is acquired using the SPS C-RNTI, and if the downlink transmission grant utilizes the first DCI format, then the receive path circuitry is configured to determine that transmission of the PDSCH by the base station uses a single-DRS port transmission scheme, and if the downlink transmission grant is acquired using the SPS C-RNTI, and if the downlink transmission grant utilizes the second DCI format, then the receive path circuitry is configured to determine that transmission of the PDSCH by the base station uses a single-DRS port transmission scheme.
