Abstract: A method for performing a cell search procedure by a user equipment in a wireless communication system includes receiving a primary synchronization signal (PSS), and obtaining a correlation value of the PSS to detect a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) indicator indicating whether a service is a dedicated MBMS. Accordingly, whether the service is the dedicated MBMS is indicated using a primary synchronization signal or a secondary synchronization signal used in an initial cell search process, and whether the service is the dedicated MBMS can be known without additional complexity. Therefore, cell search of a user equipment can be more effectively performed.

Abstract: A method for transmitting and receiving signals in an open-loop spatial multiplexing transmission mode is described. If the number of transmit antennas is 2 and a rank is 2, a base station performs precoding according to a cyclic delay diversity scheme by a matrix in which a first matrix corresponding to an identity matrix, a second matrix corresponding to a diagonal matrix, and a third matrix corresponding to a unitary matrix are sequentially multiplied and transmits the precoded signals. This may be substantially the same as the case where the base station performs precoding using a matrix in which the second matrix corresponding to the diagonal matrix and the third matrix corresponding to the unitary matrix are multiplied and transmits the precoded signals. A user equipment estimates a transmission mode according to the received rank indicator and the number of transmit antennas and receives signals.
