Zusammenfassung:A user terminal [14], a communication network [10, 14], a computer readable medium and a method for selecting at the user terminal [14] a reception and decoding of a transmission mode used by a base station [10], the user terminal [14] receiving communicated information from the base station [10], which has multiple antennas [12], via plural channels, the plural channels including a primary broadcast channel and at least one control channel. The method includes receiving at the user terminal [14] initiating data from the base station [10] via the primary broadcast channel, detecting from the received initiating data whether a first or a second transmission mode is used by the base station [10] for the primary broadcast channel, the first transmission mode indicating that a first number of antennas are used by the base station [10] and the second transmission mode indicating that a second number, different than the first number, of antennas are used by the base station [10] to communicate with the user terminal [14], and using the detected first or second transmission mode of the primary broadcast channel to decode the at least one control channel.
