Abstract:
1. A user equipment (UE) comprising: circuitry, operatively coupled to at least one antenna, configured to receive a spread spectrum signal comprising a first pilot signal, a second pilot signal, and a data signal; wherein the first pilot signal is associated with a first antenna of a base station and the second pilot signal is associated with a second antenna of the base station and the first and second pilot signal having a different chip sequence, wherein the received data signal comprises two antenna specific chip sequences, each antenna specific chip sequence being associated with the respective transmission antenna; the circuitry further configured to process the first and second pilot signals to derive preferred weights for the data signal, wherein the first and second pilot signals have a different channel code than the data signal; and circuitry configured to combine a data bit associated with the first antenna with a corresponding data bit associated with the second antenna using the preferred weights.
