LTE Transmission Modes

In LTE, multiple antenna can be used. Transmission Mode determines the way these antenna are being used. For example, what we normally call 'SISO' (Single Transmission Antenna and Single Reciever Antenna) is called 'TM1(Transmission Mode 1)'. 

Transmission Mode 1
Single-antenna port, port 0

Transmission Mode 2
Transmit diversity

Transmission Mode 3
Transmit diversity if the associated rank indicator is 1, otherwise large delay CDD

Transmission Mode 4
Closed-loop spatial multiplexing 

Transmission Mode 5
Mutil-user MIMO

Transmission Mode 6
Closed-loop spatial multiplexing with a single transmission layer

Transmission Mode 7
If the number of PBCH antenna ports in one, Single-antenna port, port 0; otherwise Transmit diversity
