Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and method for grouping multiple user data and transmitting the grouped data in a multiple antenna system. According to the method, a plurality of user groups are configured, and at least one antenna group is assigned to the plurality of user groups. Then, user signals for each user group are combined using at least one user multiplexing method to generate a user group signal, and a plurality of user group signals are combined using at least one group multiplexing method. Then, the combined user group signal is transmitted to a plurality of users belonging to the plurality of user groups using the at least one antenna group.
