1. An apparatus for transmitting packet data through at least two transmit antennas in a packet data communication system using transmit antenna diversity, comprising:
a feedback information interpreter for interpreting feedback information including channel quality indicators (CQIs) and antenna weights received from a plurality of user equipments (UEs) requesting a packet data service;
a weight generator for classifying the antenna weights into orthogonal weight groups, selecting a maximum CQI for each of the orthogonal weight groups, summing a maximum CQI pair corresponding to each orthogonal weight pair of the orthogonal weight groups, and selecting weights corresponding to CQIs that form the greatest sum as antenna weights; and
a transmitter for transmitting the packet data by applying the selected weights to the transmit antennas.
