Abstract:
1. A multiple antenna mode control method based on Station, applicable to communication systems comprising an Access Point and a Station, comprising: Step 1, the Station reporting a multiple antenna mode set or subset supported by the Station to the Access Point; Step 2, the Access Point returning a multiple antenna mode set or subset supported by the Access Point to the Station, or returning directly a multiple antenna mode set or subset supported by both the Station and the Access Point to the Station; and Step 3, choosing a multiple antenna mode from a multiple antenna mode set or subset supported by both the Station and the Access Point for communicating between the Station and the Access Point; wherein each of the multiple antenna mode set or subset supported by the Access Point, the multiple antenna mode set or subset supported by the Station, and the multiple antenna mode set or subset supported by both the Station and the Access Point comprises a plurality of multiple antenna modes selected from the group consisting of spatial multiplexing, spatial diversity and beam forming.
