Abstract:
1. A mobile station configured to operate on a Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular system comprising: an antenna; and a transmitter operably coupled to said antenna, to transmit space time block codes modulated according to a Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) modulation scheme to a base station of said LTE cellular system, wherein the transmitter transmits data symbols according to the Alamouti space time block codes by assigning each data symbol to a different sub carrier frequency and on substantially the same Time-Frequency resources which are used by another mobile station, wherein the transmission of the space time codes is done using the antenna, wherein the transmission of the space time codes using the antenna is done by transmitting a first symbol at a first frequency and a second symbol at a second frequency, and wherein the first frequency includes a first sub-carrier frequency and the second frequency includes a second sub-carrier frequency.
