Abstract
A method and apparatus for selecting an antenna in a communication system is provided. The apparatus includes a mobile station for determining a set of transmit antennas by considering statistical channel information, for determining a subset of the transmit antennas, which can increase a diversity gain and reduce an effect of a spatial correlation, from among the determined set of the transmit antennas by considering the statistical channel information and instantaneous channel information, for generating antenna selection information by using the determined subset of the transmit antennas, and for feeding back the generated antenna selection information to a base station.
