Method for determining pilot patterns for mobile terminals in the base station of a multi-carrier multi-input multi-output (mimo) system

A technical solution of determining pilot signals for mobile terminals in the base station of a multi-carrier Multi-input Multi-output (MIMO) communication network is disclosed. The base station, according to the prestored multiplexing related information of multiple pilot patterns, determines pilot patterns for served mobile terminals from the multiple pilot patterns. According to the technical solution, the interference of pilot signals between neighbor cells can be eliminated or reduced based on the solution to the problem of the mutual interference of pilot signals among multiple users in the cell in the prior art.
