Abstract:
1. A data transmission apparatus having a plurality of antennas in a frequency division multiplexing system, the data transmission apparatus comprising: a demultiplexer for splitting first-type data into plural pieces of sub-data; a first precoder for mapping the plural pieces of sub-data to the plurality of antennas by applying a first weight; a second precoder for mapping second-type data with a different attribute from the first- type data to the plurality of antennas by applying a second weight, wherein the attribute is related to at least one of a data type, a data modulation and coding scheme (MCS), a data delay requirement, a data throughput, and a data transport format; and a transmit processor for transmitting the first-type data and the second-type data through the plurality of antennas, wherein the first-type data and the second-type data are superposed by a linear combination, wherein a weight vector based on the second weight is obtained by linearly combining weight vectors based on the first weight, wherein a linear combination coefficient is used to obtain the weight vector, where the linear combination coefficient is varied in a time or frequency domain regularly so as to increase a diversity effect of the second-type data, wherein the first precoder and the second precoder use codebook-based precoding, wherein a transmit power of the first-type data and the second-type data is properly regulated to maintain a transmit power of each transmit antenna, and wherein the second-type data is control information for transmission of the first-type data such that a spatial resource usable by the first-type data is not allocated to the second-type data.
