Abstract
A method of a base station to transmit information on an ancillary channel includes encoding a set of bits from input information as a codeword, selecting a subset of active antennas that map to the codeword, and transmitting at least one main channel payload on each antenna of the selected subset of active antennas with one of a plurality of different dedicated pilot signals associated with each respective one of the antennas of the selected subset of active antennas.
