Abstract

A method of transmitting control information in a multiple antenna system includes obtaining a channel quality indicator (CQI) of a first layer, obtaining a differential value between a CQI of a second layer and the CQI of the first layer, transmitting the CQI of the first layer, and transmitting the differential value.

Claims (6)

1. A method of transmitting control information in a multiple antenna system, the method comprising: transmitting a channel quality indicator (CQI) of a first layer, wherein the CQI of the first layer comprises M number of CQIs for selected M resource block groups of the first layer and an average value of CQIs for remaining resource block groups of the first layer; transmitting a differential value between the CQI of the first layer and a CQI of a second layer, wherein the CQI of the second layer comprises M number of CQIs for selected M resource block groups of a plurality of layers and an average value of CQIs for the plurality of layers, and wherein the selected M resource block groups of each of the plurality of layers correspond to the selected M resource block groups of the first layer; transmitting a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), wherein the PMI comprises M number of PMIs for selected M resource block groups among a plurality of resource block groups and an average value of PMIs for remaining resource block groups among the plurality of resource block groups, and wherein a resource block group corresponding to the PMI is larger in size than a resource block group corresponding to the CQI; and wherein transmitting the control information is a closed loop system, in which CQI of the first layer and the differential value are transmitted in a current time and the CQI of the first layer and the PMI are transmitted in a next time.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected M resource groups of the first layer have best M CQI among all resource block groups of the first layer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first layer is a layer which includes a resource block group having the best CQI among all resource block groups of a plurality of layers.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a differential value between the CQI of the first layer and a CQI of the first layer in a next transmission period.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first layer is a layer corresponding to rank 1.
