Method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving feedback information in a wireless packet data communication system

Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided for transmitting feedback information in a communication system supporting multiple transmission methods with multi antenna transmission. Information for a default Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) mode is received. It is determined whether the default MIMO mode is a Single-User MIMO mode or a Multi-User MIMO mode based on the information for the default MIMO mode. First Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) feedback information is calculated for one of the Single-User MIMO mode and the Multi-User MIMO mode determined as the default MIMO mode. The first CQI feedback information and DELTA CQI feedback information, which is a differential value between the first CQI feedback information and second CQI feedback information for a non-default MIMO mode, are transmitted.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
