  • Patent number: 10608711
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-input and multi-output communication method in a large-scale antenna system. An MIMO transmission method according to the present invention includes: obtaining statistical channel information on at least one terminal, dividing terminals into a plurality of classes and a plurality of groups based on the statistical channel information, wherein the groups depend on the classes; determining a group beam-forming matrix for each of the divided groups; performing a group beamforming transmission by group based on the group beam-forming matrix to obtain instantaneous channel information; and scheduling terminals based on the instantaneous channel information. Thus, it is possible to decrease the complexity in a scheduling and precoding calculation without an increase in the amount of wireless resources that are required for providing feedback for a reference signal and channel status information.

The method of transmitting a DRS includes determining a DRS transmitting resource for at least one terminal which is a target of transmission, and transmitting the DRS using the determined transmission resource and notifying the terminal of information about layer used by the terminal. The method of receiving a DRS includes determining a DRS receiving resource, receiving information about layer used by a terminal from a serving cell base station, and receiving the DRS for the terminal using the determined reception resource and the information about layer. Accordingly, a terminal can find the position and sequence of its DRS.
