Patent ID: 7835719

Claim:
A method of communicating between stations in a radio network that includes at least one base station and at least one remote station, comprising the steps of: (a) modulating a signal for transmission by embedding known information throughout the signal in a predetermined pattern; (b) transmitting the modulated signal from a remote station of the network to at least one base station of the network; (c) collecting a group of sample vectors of a signal received by at least one base station of the network; and (d) processing the collected sample vectors with the known information in the predetermined embedding pattern in order to detect a said received signal that resulted from propagation of the transmitted signal; wherein step (c) comprises the step of: (e) collecting the group of sample vectors from signals that are received by more than one base station of the network; and/or the step of: (f) collecting the group of sample vectors from signals that are received simultaneously at different frequencies by at least one base station of the network.
