Abstract:
1. A method of data transmission comprising: encoding an information block according to a predetermined retransmission protocol to generate, for a single hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ instance, a transport block having information bits and error detection bits; channel coding different parts of said transport block using different modulation and coding schemes to generate one or more codewords for transmission to a receiving station; wherein channel coding different arts of said transport block using different modulation and coding schemes to generate one or more codewords for transmission to a receiving station comprises: dividing the transport block into two or more parts at a transport block splitter, independently coding and modulating each part of the transport block to generate partial codewords, and multiplexing the partial codewords to generate one or more codewords in a code word multiplexer; and spatially multiplexing the one or more codewords in a spatial multiplexer.
