BASE STATION, SUBORDINATED STATION AND TRANSMISSION METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A base station (BS) for use in a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) network, the MIMO network including a subordinated station (SS) within a signal coverage of the BS, the BS comprising:
- a storage module, being configured to store resource allocation information about the MIMO network and an SS list;
a generation module, being configured to generate a super frame corresponding to the SS according to the resource allocation information and the SS list, the super frame comprising a pilot pattern, the pilot pattern being arranged as an identifier of the SS; and
a transceiver, being configured to transmit downlink (DL) data to the SS by the super frame so that the SS may receive the DL data after confirming the pilot pattern of the super frame matches the identifier of the SS.

Abstract
A base station (BS), a subordinated station (SS) and the transmission methods thereof for use in a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) network are provided. The BS stores resource allocation information about the MIMO network and an SS list, and generate a super frame according to the resource allocation information and the SS list. The super frame comprises a pilot pattern which comprises a plurality of pilots and data. The BS and SS both considers the pilot pattern as an identifier of the SS. When there are communications occurred between the BS and the SS, the BS/SS will confirm whether the pilot pattern of the super frame matches the identifier of the SS to reduce interference from other stations in the MIMO network.
