FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to wireless communication. A system and a method for multiplexing control and data channels in a multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) communication system are provided. The method for multiplexing data symbols and control symbols of at least one codeword onto a plurality of (MIMO) layers, involves determining the number of control symbols for each of the plurality of MIMO layers by configuring a variable rank dependent offset of the at least one codeword.
EFFECT: high efficiency of processing signals during diverse reception and multiplexing control signals onto a plurality of MIMO layers based on the type, requirements and nature of control information.
