Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting a plurality of information bits on multiple antennas, the method comprising: selecting, by a user equipment (UE), a codeword from a plurality of codewords according to a state of the plurality of information bits, the codeword being comprised within a codeword group and comprising at least a first orthogonal resource and a second orthogonal resource from a plurality of orthogonal resources, wherein the plurality of information bits is less than the number of orthogonal resources in the plurality of orthogonal resources, and wherein a first codeword group comprises a first and a second codeword, the first and the second codeword both comprising the first and the second orthogonal resources, the first codeword having a first modulation symbol, and the second codeword having a second modulation symbol; transmitting, by the UE, a first symbol in a first symbol instant on a first antenna using the first orthogonal resource; and transmitting, by the UE, a second symbol in the first symbol instant on a second antenna using the second orthogonal resource, wherein the first and second orthogonal resources are different from each other and the first symbol is either a reference symbol or the first modulation symbol, and wherein the second symbol is either a reference symbol or a third modulation symbol.
