1. In a radio communication system having a multiple-antenna transmitter that selectably transmits data at least from a first transmit antenna transducer and at least a second transmit antenna transducer for communication to a receiver, the data encoded at an encoder to include a systematic part and a non-systematic part, an improvement of apparatus for facilitating transmission of the data to the receiver, said apparatus comprising:

  • a determiner at least adapted to receive indications of channel conditions of each channel upon which data is transmitted by each of the first and at least second transmit antenna transducers, respectively, said determiner for determining at least relative channel qualities of each of the channels;

    a data assignor coupled to said determiner to receive indications of determinations made thereat, said assignor for assigning the systematic part of the data encoded by the encoder to at least one of the first and at least second transmit antenna transducers that exhibits relatively better channel qualities.
