Patent ID: 8284864

Claim:
A method in a radio communication emitter for emitting a signal by at least two antennas, said signal including encoded bits that are converted into symbols distributed on subcarriers and in time intervals, said method including: distributing a set of the signal symbols into as many disjoined subsets of signal symbols as said antennas that said emitter comprises, each subset being dedicated to one of said antennas, the union of said subsets being said set of said signal symbols, symbols being distributed in at least two subsets for at least one time interval, and symbols being distributed in at least two subsets for at least one subcarrier, generating for each antenna a signal to be emitted including said symbols of said subset dedicated to said each antenna, said symbols of said subset being distributed on the same subcarriers and in the same time intervals as those of said signal, and synchronously emitting, by a respective one of said antennas, the generated signals.
