Abstract:
A transmitter generates a first precoding vector for a first virtual antenna port among a plurality of virtual antenna ports using a first sequence having a constant magnitude and a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) vector sequence in a time domain and a frequency domain. The transmitter generates a plurality of second precoding vectors for the remaining virtual antenna port, except for the first virtual antenna port of the plurality of virtual antenna ports by circular shifting the first precoding vector. The transmitter maps a plurality of first data streams for the plurality of virtual antenna ports to a plurality of physical antenna ports using the first precoding vector and the plurality of second precoding vectors.
