LTE€physical€ layer€supports€both€open€ loop€and€closed€ loop€diversity€schemes.€ In€


open€ loop€ scheme€ channel€ state€ information€ (CSI)€ is€ not€ required€ at€ the€
transmitter,€ consequently€multiple€ antennas€ cannot€provide€beam-forming,€only€
diversity€gain€can€be€achieved.€On€ the€other€hand,€closed€ loop€ scheme€does€not€
entail€ channel€ state€ information€ (CSI)€ at€ transmitter€and€ it€provides€both€ spatial€
diversity€and€beam-forming€as€well.€
€
By€employing€cyclic€delay€diversity€and€ space€ frequency€block€coding,€open€ loop€
transmit€ diversity€ can€ be€ accomplished€ in€ LTE.€ In€ addition,€ LTE€ also€ implements€
close€loop€transmit€diversity€schemes€such€as€beam-forming.
