Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for determining the appropriate combination of at least two MIMO transmission techniques for a radio link in between a transmitter () and a receiver (). The MIMO transmission techniques use at least two antennas () with at least two polarizations. According to the invention the appropriate combination is the combination of beamforming and at least one of polarization time coding, closed loop coherent combination of polarization beams and polarization multiplexing. The appropriate combination is chosen dependent on at least one of radio conditions of the radio link () and relative velocity in between the transmitter () and the receiver (). The invention further relates to a method for receiving a transmission of a radio link () in between a transmitter () and a receiver (). The invention also relates to a base station comprising a transmitter, a mobile terminal comprising a receiver and a communication network.
