Abstract: A method of transmitting and receiving Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) feedback information in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method of transmitting ARQ feedback information in a wireless communication system includes, at a transmitter, transmitting a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) including an extended header including an ARQ feedback Polling Request (APR) field indicating whether or not the transmitter makes a request for ARQ feedback polling, and receiving an Acknowledgement (ACK) from a receiver if the APR field indicates that the transmitter makes the request for ARQ feedback polling to the receiver.

A method for transmitting data through a superframe including a superframe header, includes generating the superframe which includes a data region including user data and includes a dedicated control region including data region allocation information indicating resource allocation for the data region, and transmitting the superframe. The dedicated control region is arranged at least one of locations except for a subframe of the superframe header. A user equipment which does not have to transmit and receive data decodes only data region allocation information using information of the data region indicated by a dedicated control region, thereby minimizing power loss, reducing a feedback delay, and reducing system overhead using a superframe structure.

Abstract: A closed-loop MIMO system includes a receiver for forming a new predefined set by using elements of a previous predefined set, selecting a certain matrix of the new predefined set, and feeding back an index of the matrix, if the number of transmit antennas increases, and a transmitter for performing signal transmission by multiplying the matrix of the fedback index to a transmission signal. Although the number of transmit antennas increases, candidate matrices can be simply obtained by using candidate matrices of a previous set. Moreover, by proposing a reference for selecting an optimal solution with a small amount of calculation, burden on a system can be considerably reduced.
