A method (1300) for transmitting data in a multi-input and multi-output wireless communication system, MIMO, comprising: coding and modulation (1312) of a first plurality of data streams to obtain a first plurality of streams of data symbols; the use of a directional spatial multiplexing mode, the spatial processing (1314) of the first plurality of data symbol streams with a first plurality of addressing vectors to obtain a first plurality of transmission symbol streams for transmission from a plurality of antennas to a first user terminal in a first transmission interval; coding and modulation (1316) of a second plurality of data flows to obtain a second plurality of data symbol flows; and the use of a non-directional spatial multiplexing mode, the provision (1318) of the second plurality of data symbol flows as a second plurality of transmission symbol flows for transmission from the plurality of antennas to a second terminal of user in a second transmission interval. |
