Patent ID: 7092450

Claim:
A receiver comprising: a time-domain to frequency-domain converter responsive to a signal received by an antenna in frames k and k+1, for developing signals Y k in frame k and signals Y k+1 in frame k+1; a linear combiner for creating a first linear combination signal, {tilde over (Y)} k , from signals related to Y k and Y k+1 , and a second linear combination signal, {tilde over (Y)} k+1 , from signals related to Y k and Y k+1 , where said first linear combination is different from said second linear combination; an equalizer that pre-multiplies signal {tilde over (Y)} k by a diagonal matrix W to form signal {tilde over (X)} k , and pre-multiplies signal {tilde over (Y)} k+1 by said diagonal matrix W to form signal {tilde over (Z)} k+1 ; a frequency-domain to time-domain converter for converting signals {tilde over (Z)} k and {tilde over (Z)} k+1 to time-domain signals; and a slicer responsive to said time domain signals.
