Patent ID: 8503407

Claim:
A method for receiving signals at a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a closed loop multi input multi output (MIMO) mode, the method comprising: reporting feedback information used to indicate first type weights to a base station at a sub frame N, wherein N is an integer; receiving feed forward information used to indicate second type weights from the base station at a sub frame N+a, where “a” is equal to or greater than 1, through a downlink control channel, wherein the second type weights are determined in consideration of the feedback information; receiving downlink signals, to which the second type weights are applied, from the base station at the sub frame N+a through a physical downlink shared channel; decoding the downlink signals using the second type weights and a MIMO scheme when the second type weights are different from the first type weights; and decoding the downlink signals using the first type weights and the MIMO scheme when the second type weights are identical to the first type weights.
