1. A communication system comprising:

  • a framer for segmenting transmit data blocks into fixed frame lengths for generating information symbols from a discrete alphabet of symbols;

    a plurality of antenna links;

    a channel encoder for encoding the generated information symbols with an error control code for producing code word symbols;

    a spatial formatter for parsing the produced code word symbols to allocate the symbols to a presentation order among said plurality of antenna links; and

    a phase shift keying modulator for mapping the parsed code word symbols onto constellation points from a discrete complex-valued signaling constellation according to binary projections to achieve spatial diversity.
