Abstract

A method for transmitting/receiving data in a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) communication system is disclosed. The data transmission method includes determining a precoding matrix to be a part of a phase-shift-based precoding matrix, determining a first diagonal matrix for phase shift to be a part of the phase-shift-based precoding matrix, determining a unitary matrix to be a part of the phase-shift-based precoding matrix, precoding a transmission symbol for each resource using the phase-shift-based precoding matrix to produce precoded data, and transmitting the precoded data, wherein the phase-shift-based precoding matrix is determined by the product of the precoding matrix, a Hermitian matrix of the unitary matrix, the first diagonal matrix, and the unitary matrix.
