Abstract:
1. A mobile station provided with multiple antennas in a wireless communication system, the mobile station comprising: a display module; a user input module for receiving a command from a user; a plurality of communication modules for respectively transmitting and receiving signals to and from a plurality of base stations; and a processor for processing the signals received from the plurality of base stations, wherein the processor controls the mobile station to display an overlap zone entry notification message received from a macro base station in the display module if the mobile station enters an overlap zone between the macro base station and a femto base station, selects an antenna driving mode of the multiple antennas in accordance with an input signal transmitted through the user input module, and controls the wireless communication modules to transmit and receive signals to and from at least one of the macro base station and the femto base station in accordance with the selected antenna driving mode, a first mode of the antenna driving mode performs signal transmission and reception through spatial multiplexing or transmission diversity from the femto base station through handover to the femto base station, a first antenna of the multiple antennas based on a second mode of the antenna driving mode transmits and receives a signal to and from the femto base station, and a second antenna of the multiple antennas based on the second mode of the antenna driving mode transmits and receives a signal to and from the macro base station.
