Abstract

See full text

Encoded digital symbols are transmitted via a first pair of antennas and at least one second pair of antennas. The sets of symbols used for the transmission via the second pair of antennas are re-ordered temporally into subsets of symbols with respect to the symbols used for the first pair of antennas. For the first pair of antennas, there is used a signal subjected to encoding with a code-division-multiple-access code and subjected to spreading with a spreading code, and, likewise, for the second pair or pairs of antennas there are used signals subjected to encoding with respective code-division-multiple-access code and subjected to spreading with a respective spreading code. At least one between the respective code-division-multiple-access code and the respective spreading code used for the transmission via the second pair of antennas is different from the code-division-multiple-access code and from the spreading code used for the transmission via the first pair of antennas. The solution can be extended to the use of a plurality of second pairs of antennas in transmission and/or to the use of a plurality of antennas in reception.
