Abstract:
1. A method in a multiple antenna transmitter comprising: for a transmission resource comprising a frequency component or a time component used by the multiple antenna transmitter, defining a first traffic portion and a second traffic portion, the first traffic portion being distinct from the second traffic portion; transmitting broadcast traffic or wide area traffic on at least one first antenna of a plurality of antennas in the first traffic portion using a first sub-channelization based on either one of or a combination of FDM (frequency division multiplexing) sub-channelization and TDM (time division multiplexing) sub-channelization; transmitting multicast traffic or local area traffic on at least one second antenna of the plurality of antennas, the at least one second antenna being distinct from the at least one first antenna, in the first traffic portion using a second sub-channelization based on either one of or a combination of FDM sub-channelization and TDM sub-channelization; transmitting unicast traffic on at least one antenna of the plurality of antennas in the second traffic portion using a third sub-channelization based on either one of or a combination of FDM sub-channelization and TDM sub-channelization.
