Abstract:
1. An adaptive transmit method of a transmitter in a wireless communication system with multiple antennas for transmitting data to a receiver with a plurality of receive antennas from the transmitter with a plurality of transmit antennas through an MIMO (multiple input multiple output) channel, comprising: (a) determining a channel coding method, a modulation method, and an antenna transmit method so as to support different data rates according to a characteristic of the MIMO channel, wherein the channel coding method, the modulation method, and the antenna transmit method are classified according to a main transmit mode for supporting different data rates, and the main transmit mode includes either or both of a sub-transmit mode based on the STBC (space time block code) and a sub-transmit mode based on the SM (spatial multiplexing); (b) encoding input data according to the determined main transmit mode; (c) modulating the data encoded in (b) according to the determined sub-transmit mode, mapping them to modulation symbols, and outputting results; and (d) mapping the data modulated in (c) to symbol vectors to be transmitted through each transmit antenna according to the determined sub-transmit mode, and outputting results.
