Uplink transmission diversity configuration method and apparatus

The present invention discloses a method for uplink transmit diversity configuration method, comprising: the network side after the uplink transmit diversity capability information, notifying the terminal through an air interface signaling according to the terminal received reported by the terminal support uplink transmission configuration information diversity. The present invention also discloses a method for realizing the uplink transmit diversity configuration means. Aspect of the present invention not only support the high end version of the protocol to achieve transmit diversity ensure that the terminal, the terminal version is also compatible with low to achieve transmit diversity, thereby improving the performance of communication systems.
