METHODS OF TRANSMITTING COORDINATE MULTIPLE POINT DATA BASED ON ORTHOGONAL COVERING CODES

摘要

The present invention relates to methods of transmitting coordinate multiple point data based on orthogonal covering codes. In an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method of transmitting downlink data in a base station of a multiple input multiple output system. The method includes: A. determining a plurality of antenna groups from antennas of a plurality of coordinate multiple point cells; B. modulating inter-cell coordinate multiple point downlink data symbols for each antenna groups using different orthogonal covering codes. The orthogonal covering codes have a length not greater than twice the number of the antenna groups. With the methods of the present invention, a base station and a user equipment can distinguish signals from different coordinate multiple point cells, different antenna groups, or different coordinate multiple point clusters, reducing interference between signals from the different coordinate multiple point cells, the different antenna groups, or the different coordinate multiple point clusters.
