Generally, the physical meaning of a rank of a channel matrix may be a maximum number of different pieces of information that can be transmitted in a given channel. Accordingly, since the rank of the channel matrix is defined as the smaller of the number of rows or columns, which are independent of each other, the rank of the matrix is not greater than the number of rows or columns. A rank of a channel matrix H, rank(H), is restricted as follows. rank(H)≤min(NT,NR)??[Equation 6]
Each unit of different information transmitted using MIMO technology is defined as a ‘transmission stream’ or simply ‘stream’. The ‘stream’ may be referred to as a ‘layer’. The number of transmission streams is not greater than a rank of a channel which is a maximum number of different pieces of transmittable information. Accordingly, the channel matrix H may be indicted by the following Equation 7:
