Transmit diversity processing for a multi-antenna communication system
First Claim
1. A method of processing data for transmission in a wireless multi-antenna orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system, the method comprising:
- coding traffic data in accordance with a coding scheme to obtain coded data;
interleaving the coded data in accordance with an interleaving scheme to obtain interleaved data;
symbol mapping the interleaved data in accordance with a modulation scheme to obtain a stream of data symbols; and
processing each pair of data symbols in the stream to obtain two pairs of transmit symbols for transmission from a pair of antennas, wherein each transmit symbol is a version of a data symbol.

Abstract
For transmit diversity in a multi-antenna OFDM system, a transmitter encodes, interleaves, and symbol maps traffic data to obtain data symbols. The transmitter processes each pair of data symbols to obtain two pairs of transmit symbols for transmission from a pair of antennas either (1) in two OFDM symbol periods for space-time transmit diversity or (2) on two subbands for space-frequency transmit diversity. NT·(NT−1) 2 different antenna pairs are used for data transmission, with different antenna pairs being used for adjacent subbands, where NT is the number of antennas. The system may support multiple OFDM symbol sizes. The same coding, interleaving, and modulation schemes are used for different OFDM symbol sizes to simplify the transmitter and receiver processing. The transmitter performs OFDM modulation on the transmit symbol stream for each antenna in accordance with the selected OFDM symbol size. The receiver performs the complementary processing.
