Abstract:
An infrastructure equipment for a mobile communications network includes plural antennas, and is configured in a first mode of operation to transmit, from each of the plural antennas, reference signals in communications resource elements of the wireless access signals allocated to the plural antennas. The reference signals are transmitted in different communications resource elements of the wireless access interface for each antenna, so that a receiver can estimate a communications channel for each of the antennas, from the antennas to the receiver, from the transmitted reference signals. The infrastructure equipment is configured to switch between transmitting signals representing different data segments between subsets of the plural antennas to a second communications device, the signals being transmitted from each antenna subset representing different data segments for transmission to the second communications device, the transmitted signals being switched in at least one of time or frequency in accordance with a mapping.

Claim (Index 10):
A communications device for receiving data transmitted from an infrastructure equipment of a mobile communications network, the infrastructure equipment including a plurality of antennas and being configured to operate in a first mode of operation, to transmit, from each of the plurality of antenna, reference signals in communications resource elements of a wireless access signals allocated to each of the plurality of antennas, the reference signals being transmitted from each of the antennas in different communications resource elements of the wireless access interface for each antenna, and to transmit, from each of the plurality of antennas, signals representing data contemporaneously in the same communications resource elements from each antenna, and, in a second mode of operation to switch between transmitting signals representing different segments of data from each of a plurality of subsets of the plurality of antennas, the signals being transmitted from each antenna subset representing a data segment, the transmitted signals being switched in at least one of time or frequency, the communications resource elements which are used to transmit the reference signals from each antenna being different for each antenna and the same as the first mode of operation as the second mode of operation, the communications device comprising\n a transmitter configured to transmit signals to the infrastructure equipment via the wireless access interface, a receiver configured to receive signals from the infrastructure equipment via the wireless access interface, and a controller configured to control the transmitter and the receiver to transmit the signals to the infrastructure equipment and to receive the signals from infrastructure equipment, wherein the controller is configured with the receiver to receive signals representing data transmitted from the infrastructure equipment in the second mode of operation by receiving an indication from the infrastructure equipment identifying, for each of the plurality of antennas, which of the subsets of the plurality of antennas was used by the infrastructure equipment to transmit the signals representing different segments of data, the signals having been switched in transmission between subsets of the plurality of antennas in accordance with the second mode of operation, and identifying, for each of the plurality of antennas, the communications resources elements of the wireless access interface in which the reference signals were transmitted for each antenna of the subset of antennas, detecting, for each antenna of the subset of the plurality of antennas, the reference signals from the identified communications resource elements, and estimating, for each antenna of the subset of the plurality of antennas, a communications channel through which the signals representing the data were transmitted from each antenna in correspondence with the subset of the plurality of antennas from which the signals were transmitted using the detected reference signals for the antenna.
