A method and apparatus for antenna switching, grouping, and channel assignments in wireless communication systems. The invention allows multiuser diversity to be exploited with simple antenna operations, therefore increasing the capacity and performance of wireless communications systems. Channel characteristics indicative of signal reception quality for downlink or bi- directional traffic for each channel/antenna resource combination are measured or estimated at a subscriber. Corresponding channel characteristic information is returned to the base station. Channel characteristics information may also be measured or estimated for uplink or bi~directional signals received at each of multiple receive antenna resources. The base station employs channel allocation logic to assign uplink, downlink and/or bi-directional channels for multiple subscribers based on channel characteristics measured and/or estimated for the uplink, downlink and/or bi-directional channels.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour commutation d'antennes, groupage et attributions de voies dans des systèmes de communication sans fil. L'invention permet d'obtenir une diversité multi-utilisateur avec de simples opérations d'antennes, d'où l'augmentation de la capacité et de la performance de systèmes de communication sans fil. Des caractéristiques de voies indicatrices de la qualité de réception d'un signal pour le trafic descendant ou bidirectionnel pour chaque combinaison de ressources de voies/antennes sont mesurées ou estimées au niveau de l'abonné. Des informations de caractéristiques de voies correspondantes sont envoyées en retour à la station de base. Des informations de caractéristiques de voies peuvent également être mesurées ou estimées pour les signaux montants ou bidirectionnels reçus au niveau de chaque ressource d'une pluralité de ressources d'antennes de réception. La station de base utilise une logique d'affectation de voies pour attribuer les voies montantes, descendantes et/ou bidirectionnelles pour de multiples abonnés sur la base de caractéristiques de voies mesurées et/ou estimées pour les voies montantes, descendantes et/ou bidirectionnelles.
