Disclosed is a frame transmission method using precoding for supporting MU-MIMO, which facilitates to reduce overhead of a downlink frame in a wireless communication system of FDD method, and a base station supporting that method. The frame transmission method comprises calculating a precoding matrix of a present frame based on channel state information (CSI) of each mobile station and a precoding matrix of a prior frame; precoding a dedicated pilot and downlink data to be transmitted to the mobile station by the use of precoding matrix of the present frame; and transmitting a downlink frame including the precoded dedicated pilot and precoded downlink data to the corresponding mobile station.

Disclosed is a method for determining precoding matrix based on an open-loop MIMO scheme, which can enhance a diversity gain at a static communication environment or a low-mobility communication environment. The method for determining precoding matrix applies a first precoding matrix to downstream data to transmit the downstream data through a plurality of antennas, the first precoding matrix being selected from a codebook which comprises a plurality of precoding matrixes, and changes the first precoding matrix to a second precoding matrix per predetermined period, and applying the second precoding matrix to the downstream data to transmit the downstream data through the antennas. The second precoding matrix is a precoding matrix corresponding to an index which has been shifted by a certain value from an index of the first precoding matrix in a direction where an index of a precoding matrix increases, in the codebook.
