ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and system for transmitting in a wireless communication system, a transmission signal divided into at least two signal parts by using transmission beams of at least two subarrays (SA1, SA2) of an antenna array. The transmission beam of at least one of the at least two subarrays (SA1, SA2) is at least in part controlled based on a feedback information received from the receiving means (20). Thus, several beams are generated using an antenna array with more than two antennas, wherein an open-loop diversity is used to split the transmission between the beams, and a closed-loop feedback-based diversity is used to optimize the beams, as well as possibly the division of power between the beams. Thereby, the amount of feedback can be controlled so as to achieve significant feedback gain in a multi-antenna transmission even with non-maximal amounts of feedback.
