Method of indicating number of antennas in network broadcast system
First Claim
1. A method for generating a broadcast signal, the method comprising:
- forming an information block for transmission, the information block comprising a first field comprising a plurality of bits having a predetermined value;
generating error detection bits based upon the information block;
scrambling the plurality of bits of the first field and the error detection bits using a mask, wherein the mask comprises a first mask pattern to scramble the plurality of bits of the first field and a second mask pattern to scramble the error detection bits;
generating the broadcast signal comprising the information block including the scrambled plurality of bits, and the scrambled error detection bits; and
transmitting the generated broadcast signal via a packet broadcast control channel,wherein the first mask pattern imparts information to a first group of user equipment (UEs) regarding a first evolved NodeB (eNodeB) transmit antenna configuration and the second mask pattern imparts information to a second group of UEs regarding a second eNodeB transmit antenna configuration.

Abstract
A method for generating a broadcast signal includes forming an information block for transmission, the information block including a first field comprising a plurality of bits configured to impart information to a first group of user equipment (UEs) regarding a first evolved NodeB (eNodeB) transmit antenna configuration. The method further includes generating error detection bits based upon the information block and scrambling the error detection bits using a mask according to a second eNodeB transmit antenna configuration, such that the mask is configured to impart information to a second group of UEs regarding the second eNodeB transmit antenna configuration. The method also includes generating the broadcast signal having the information block and the scrambled error detection bits, and transmitting the generated broadcast signal via a packet broadcast control channel.

8. A wireless broadcast system, comprising:
-
a transmitter configured to transmit a generated broadcast signal via a packet broadcast control channel; a processor configured to; form an information block for transmission, the information block comprising a first field comprising a plurality of bits having a predetermined value; generate error detection bits based upon the information block; scramble the plurality of bits of the first field and the error detection bits using a mask, wherein the mask comprises a first mask pattern to scramble the plurality of bits of the first field and a second mask pattern to scramble the error detection bits; generate the broadcast signal comprising the information block including the scrambled plurality of bits and the scrambled error detection bits; and cause the transmitter to transmit the generated broadcast signal via the packet broadcast channel, wherein the first mask pattern imparts information to a first group of user equipment (UEs) regarding a first evolved NodeB (eNodeB) transmit antenna configuration and the second mask pattern imparts information to a second group of UEs regarding a second eNodeB transmit antenna configuration. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
