Patent ID: 7218683

Claim:
A multiple-antenna wireless communication transmitting system having a plurality of transmitting antennas, comprising: a space-time encoder for receiving information bits and outputting a plurality of the code symbols per input symbol; interleavers for interleaving the plurality of the code symbols outputted from said space-time encoder; a parallel to serial (P/S) converter for converting the plurality of the parallel symbols outputted from said interleavers into serial symbols; a recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) encoder for encoding the serial symbols outputted from said P/S converter and outputting the code symbols, wherein the RSC encoder maps the serial symbols to a specific transmitting antenna of the plurality of antennas; a serial to parallel (S/P) converter for converting the serial code symbols outputted from said RSC encoder into a plurality of the parallel symbols; and a modulator for modulating the plurality of the parallel symbols outputted from said S/P converter and outputting the modulated signals to a plurality of the transmit antennas, each transmitting antenna corresponding to the respective modulated signal.
