Abstract
Systems and methods for explicitly signaling a number of receiver antennas of one node in a cellular communications network to another node in the cellular communications network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first node in the cellular communications network sends a number of receiver antennas of the first node to a second node in the cellular communications network. In one embodiment, the first node broadcasts the number of receiver antennas of the first node. In another embodiment, the first node unicasts the number of receiver antennas of the first node to the second node. The second node then utilizes the number of receiver antennas of the first node to perform a desired action.
