Abstract:
1. A method for indicating a multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) mode to a user equipment (UE), comprising: constructing first part information and second part information, wherein formats of the first part information and the second part information are on basis of transmission modes of data streams, the data stream transmission mode based formats of the first part information and the second part information utilized to indicate an MU-MIMO mode to the UE; and sending the first part information and the second part information to the UE through a high speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH), wherein if an HS-SCCH type 3 single stream format is used for the first part information, and an HS-SCCH type 3 dual-stream format is used for the second part information, it is indicative of the MU-MIMO mode, if an HS-SCCH type 3 dual-stream format is used for the first part information, and an HS-SCCH type 3 single stream format is used for the second part information, it is indicative of the MU-MIMO mode, and if the formats of the first part information and the second part information are an HS-SCCH type 3 single stream, a seventh bit of channelization-code-set information in the first part information indicates the MU-MIMO mode to the UE.
