Abstract
A method and apparatus for adaptively determining weights for transmission antennas according to a channel condition in a closed-loop transmit diversity system using a plurality of transmission antennas. The antenna weights are determined using variation of channel characteristics based on time and space, to thereby improve bit error rate performance. Parameters for fixing average transmission power per symbol according to the statistical channel characteristics for symbol energy and additive white Gaussian nose energy are previously determined to estimate channel characteristics. The antenna weights are determined using the parameters and channel gains estimated upon reception of data symbols.
