Abstract
Embodiments of the invention describe a method for antenna selection (AS) in a wireless communication network. The network includes a base station and a transceiver, wherein the transceiver has a set of antennas, and wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit a frequency-hopped sounding reference signal (SRS) from a subset of antennas at a time. The base station determines a type of a training transmission based on a number of the subbands and a number of subsets in the set of antennas, and transmits an instruction including the type to the transceiver.
