LTE Downlink MIMO and frame format.
LTE downlink by default requires MIMO 2x2 antenna configuration (In WiMax its optional). By MIMO 2x2 we mean 2 transmit antennas at the base station and 2 receive antennas at the mobile. Antenna configurations with MIMO 4x4 are also discussed in the standard.
Here is a diagram of downlink MIMO 2X2 scenario. The implementation is using two antennas to receive downlink signals. The detailed discussion on the format of Downlink Frame
