Patent ID: 8036286

Claim:
A method of transmitting data sequences via two antennas, the method comprising: modulating at least one source signal to produce a plurality of modulated symbols; inputting the plurality of modulated symbols to a pre-coder; performing, at the pre-coder, a phase-shift-based pre-coding of the plurality of modulated symbols using a first matrix 1 2 ⁢ ( 1 - ⅇ j ⁢ ⁢ θ 1 ⁢ k ⅇ j ⁢ ⁢ θ 1 ⁢ k 1 ) when a multiplexing rate equals 2, and using a second matrix when the multiplexing rate equals 1, the second matrix being a 2×1 matrix and comprising only the first column of the first matrix or the second column of the first matrix, wherein k denotes a resource index and θ 1 denotes a phase angle; and transmitting the phase-shift-based pre-coded plurality of modulated symbols via the two antennas.
