Abstract

A method for selecting pre-coding vectors in a base station of a multi-user MIMO system, comprising: transmitting a plurality of pilot signals without being precoded to the plurality of terminals; receiving a plurality of feedback signals from the terminals, wherein at least one feedback signal includes a plurality of recommended pre-coding vector information and a plurality of channel status information, and each of the channel status information corresponds to a recommended pre-coding vector information; generate a pre-coding codebook based on the plurality feedback signals, wherein at least one pre-coding vector in the pre-coding codebook is determined based on a correlation coefficient between at least two recommended pre-coding vectors; and performing a transmission operation using the pre-coding codebook.
