Abstract
A wireless communication technique includes configuring a first antenna group to transmit common system information, a common reference signal, and data according to a first format and a second format to wireless devices in a cell, configuring a second antenna group to transmit data according to the second format, but no common system information or common reference signals, to wireless devices in the cell and dynamically assigning, based on a network operational status, antennas from a plurality of antennas to either the first antenna group or the second antenna group.
