Claim Text:
1. A method for decoding a signal vector in a multiple-input multiple-output transmission scheme, comprising: receiving multiple signal vectors corresponding to a digital signal, the multiple signal vectors being received during a first time interval; decoding the received signal vectors, wherein decoding a given received signal vector comprises computing soft information for each bit in the given received signal vector based on channel information associated with the given received signal vector; combining the soft information from each decoded signal vector to obtain an estimate of the digital signal; storing an estimate of the digital signal corresponding to the signal vectors received in the first time interval; requesting retransmission of a subset of the signal vectors corresponding to the digital signal received in the first time interval; and combining an estimate of the digital signal corresponding to signal vectors received in a second time interval as a result of the retransmission with the stored estimate corresponding to the signal vectors received in the first time interval.
