Abstract

A transmission/reception apparatus and a method thereof in a codebook-based multiple antenna system is provided. In a transmission method in a codebook-based Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system, feedback information is received from a receiver. A downlink Open-Loop Single User MIMO (OL SU-MIMO) codebook subset is determined within a base cookbook based on the feedback information. At least one data stream is transmitted via at least one antenna using the determined downlink OL SU-MIMO codebook subset.

transmitting at least one data stream via at least one antenna using the determined the downlink OL SU-MIMO codebook subset,

wherein the downlink OL SU-MIMO codebook subset comprises at least one codeword, a number of codewords determined based on a rank, and a number of transmission antennas.
