Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for communication between a UE and a Node B in a communication system. The UE receives a control signal including one bit of frequency hopping information, a resource allocation type, a resource allocation, and a cyclic shift for a reference signal from the Node B. It is determined that the frequency hopping information is used as a part of resource allocation information, if the resource allocation type indicates that two sets of resource blocks are allocated. The UE transmits data based on the frequency hopping information, the resource allocation type, and the resource allocation included in the control signal. Each of the resource blocks comprises one or more resource block groups, and a size of each resource block group is determined based on an uplink bandwidth.

Abstract: In a base station, a control unit and a data size regulation unit control the data size of downstream assignment control data and upstream assignment control data in the PDCCH signal based on the communication format used between the base station and a terminal, the number of base station antennas (M) (nonnegative number), the number of terminal antennas (N) (nonnegative number), the bandwidth of the downstream band, and the bandwidth of the upstream band. Specifically, the control unit determines it is unnecessary to adjust the aforementioned data size when the selected communication format is first established between multiple antennas and when where there are multiple for one of M and N and only one for the other. The quality of downstream assignment control data is prevented from degrading, while preventing the number of blind determinations from increasing on the receiving side of the downstream control channel signal.

Abstract: A wireless communication system non-collaborative, multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) space division multiple access (SDMA) system determines subscriber station combining and weighting vectors that yield a high average signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR). Each subscriber station independently transmits information to a base station that allows the base station to determine a weight vector wi for each subscriber station using the determined combining vector of the subscriber station. The ith combining vector corresponds to a right singular vector corresponding to a maximum singular value of a channel matrix between a base station and the ith subscriber station. Each subscriber station transmits signals using a weight vector vi, which corresponds to a left singular vector corresponding to a maximum singular value of a channel matrix between the ith subscriber station and the base station. The base station uses the weight vector wi to determine the signal transmitted by the ith subscriber station.
