Abstract:
1. A method for combining signals coming from multiple diversity sources, comprising: performing maximal-ratio combining (MRC) based equalization and combining for receiver antenna diversity; performing MRC-based equalization and combining for repetition diversity; and performing MRC-based equalization and combining for duplication diversity; wherein the MRC-based equalization and combining for receiver antenna diversity, the MRC-based equalization and combining for repetition diversity, and the MRC-based equalization and combining for duplication diversity are each performed separately; wherein the MRC-based equalization and combining for repetition diversity is performed after the MRC-based equalization and combining for receiver antenna diversity; and wherein the MRC-based equalization and combining for duplication diversity is performed after the MRC-based equalization and combining for repetition diversity.
