Abstract:
1. A receiving device comprising: circuitry configured to receive a signal including pilot bits transmitted by a plurality of antennas; wherein the received signal includes a single user data that was combined with different sequences producing a quality of combined data sequences; wherein antenna-specific weights for the plurality of antennas are applied to each of the combined data sequences and the antenna specific weights are applied to pilot bits added with the combined data sequences; wherein the received signal includes the pilot bits for each of the plurality of antennas; and wherein the pilot bits for each antenna have a different sequence for that antenna; the circuitry is further configured to derive preferred weights for the received signal based on the pilot bits for each antenna; the circuitry is further configured to recover data for the single user from each of the different sequences; and the circuitry is further configured to combine data from the recovered data for the single user from each of the different sequences.
