Abstract:
1. A switching method of a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) mode, comprising: a NodeB determining to perform MIMO mode switching for a cell self-adaptively, wherein a Radio Network Controller (RNC) does not know current MIMO mode status of the cell after the MIMO mode switching; the NodeB sending a message to the RNC through a Node B Application Part (NBAP) layer of an Iub port, which message carries a cell identifier of the cell and MIMO mode status information of the cell, wherein the cell identifier and the MIMO mode status information are configured to indicate the current MIMO mode status of the cell after the MIMO mode switching; and the RNC updating MIMO mode status of the cell by using the cell identifier and the MIMO mode status information.
