Abstract:
1. A method for processing a transmission diversity (TD) encoded transmission comprising: receiving the TD encoded transmission; de-spreading the TD encoded transmission; applying a set of functions of channel estimations to the de-spread TD encoded transmission to produce TD decoded symbols, wherein several de-spread TD encoded symbols are used to produce a single TD decoded symbol and wherein the number of the de-spread TD encoded symbols used to produce the single TD decoded symbol corresponds to a number of symbol periods during which a TD encoded symbol is TD encoded and transmitted; and wherein each function of channel estimations is a list of functions computed from channel estimates and wherein the applying step comprises: at each clock cycle i between 1 and M, creating an intermediate symbol, S combining all intermediate symbols into the TD decoded symbol; wherein M is the number of transmit antennas.
