Abstract:
1. A method executed in a mobile station that communicates with a base station, where said mobile station has multiple antennas and said base station has M>1 antennas, comprising the steps of: determining channel conditions between said antennas of said mobile station and antennas of said base station; and sending a request to said base station, based on said step of determining, to send information coded for Co-Channel interference (CCI) suppression, Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) reception, or a mixture of both, which request causes said base station to send a particular stream of information through all of its multiple antennas when requesting information coded for CCI suppression, and to send M different streams of information, each over a different one of its M antennas, when requesting information coded for MIMO reception.
