Claim Text:
1. A method for mapping a rate one space-time block code for a 2n antenna transmitter where n=2, the method comprising transmitting 2n transmission symbols in each of a plurality of transmission periods by: for a first set of sub-carriers, mapping a first set of 2n transmission symbols to a first set of the 2n antennas and mapping a null assignment to a second set of the 2n antennas using a first antenna hopping pattern for a first transmission period of the plurality of transmission periods, the first transmission period comprising a first set of n pairs of consecutive transmission intervals; for a second set of sub-carriers, mapping a second set of 2n transmission symbols to a third set of the 2n antennas and mapping the null assignment to a fourth set of the 2n antennas using a second antenna hopping pattern for a second transmission period of the plurality of transmission periods;
