Abstract
A method and system for cooperative multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) transmission and reception operations in a multicell wireless network. Under the method, antenna elements from multiple base stations and/or multiple antennas are utilized to from an augmented MIMO antenna array that is used to transmit and receive MIMO transmissions at base stations and/or terminals. The cooperative MIMO transmission scheme supports higher dimension space-time-frequency processing for increased capacity and system performance.
