9. Receive diversity is most often used in the uplink.
In LTE, the mobile’s test specifications assume that
the mobile is using two receive antennas, so LTE
systems are expected to use receive diversity on the
downlink as well as the uplink
❖ A mobile’s antennas are closer together than a BS’s,
which reduces the benefit of receive diversity
10. Transmit Diversity
Two ways to solve the problem
❖ Closed loop transmit diversity
❖ Open loop transmit diversity
