Abstract
A method for pre-processing data to be transmitted in a multiple-input communication system comprises the following steps: generating a beamforming matrix and a pre-coding matrix; combining the beamforming matrix and the pre-coding matrix to generate a weight matrix; and pre-processing the data by using the generated weight matrix. There are also provided a transmitter, a base station, and a communication system using the method.
