Summary: 
In this letter, we propose an efficient closed-loop transmit (Tx) diversity scheme that works well for high mobility as well as low mobility. The proposed scheme exploits a quantized weight vector codebook designed by separating it into gain and phase codebooks. Simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme can provide a significant advantage in both complexity and flexibility over conventional methods.
