Claim:
A system for transmitting data between stations, comprising: at least two transmitters, each operable to transmit different sets of code symbols over a wireless interface; an interleaver means associated with each of said at least two transmitters and each interleaver means operable to interleave said sets of code symbols prior to transmission by the respective one of said at least two transmitters, each said interleaver means employing a different set of interleaving parameters during interleaving operations such that the set of interleaved code symbols produced by a first interleaver means have a different interleaving pattern than the set of interleaved code symbols produced by a second interleaver means; at least one receiver, operable to receive said set of interleaved code symbols from at least one of said at least two transmitters over said wireless interface; and a de-interleaver means associated with said at least one receiver, operable to de-interleave said received set of code symbols in accordance with said set of interleaving parameters for said received set of code symbols.
