Communication system and method using transmit diversity
First Claim
1. A transmitting device in a communication system for influencing the transmission of signals from a transmitting device to a receiving device, said communication system comprising at least one transmitting device and at least one receiving device, wherein the transmitting device is arranged to receive a feedback signal transmitted from a receiving device, process already existing feedback information from the receiving device, select a feedback mode and a corresponding feedback word length on the basis of the already existing feedback information, determine transmit weights in accordance with the feedback signal and apply the determined transmit weights to transmission signals.

Abstract
Influencing the transmission of signals from a transmitting device to a receiving device in a communication system comprising at least one transmitting device and at least one receiving device is disclosed. In a receiving station received transmission signals are processed and a feedback signal to be transmitted to a transmitting device is generated on the basis of the processed signals. Then, transmit weights to be applied to transmission signals are determined in accordance with the feedback signal.
