Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a communication system using a space division multi-user multiple input multiple output (SD-MIMO) communication method. A transmission apparatus may transmit, to each of terminals included within a coverage, common control information commonly transmitted to the terminals and individual control information individually transmitted to each of the terminals. The transmission apparatus does not precode the common control information and transmits the non-precoded common control information. The transmission apparatus precodes the individual control information and transmits the precoded individual control information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of an access point in a wireless network, comprising: generating a first channel estimation field and a second channel estimation field to be transmitted to a terminal; generating a control field comprising a common control field and an individual control field, wherein the common control field is to be transmitted to the terminal subsequent to the first channel estimation field and prior to the second channel estimation field, and the individual…
