First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for transmitting a certain sequence of symbols, said method comprising:
- constructing a frame of a certain number of consecutive symbols;
transmitting the symbols belonging to the sequence using at least two antennas;
wherein the transmission of the sequence of symbols is with a certain transmission pattern;
starting the transmission of the sequence of symbols from a predefined antenna;
wherein each symbol of the sequence is transmitted using not more than one antenna, whereby only one antenna is transmitting at one time; and
starting the transmission pattern from the beginning of a next frame when a partial transmission pattern is used at the end of a frame.

Abstract
A method transmits a certain sequence of symbols, where a frame is constructed of a certain number of consecutive symbols. The symbols belonging to the sequence are transmitted using at least two antennas and the transmission of the sequence of symbols is with a certain transmission pattern. The transmission of the sequence of symbols is started from a predefined antenna and the transmission pattern is started from the beginning in the beginning of each frame. Also disclosed is an apparatus and a network element for controlling the transmission of a sequence of symbols.

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
a controller for controlling the transmission of a sequence of symbols according to a certain transmission pattern through at least two antennas;
an indicator for indicating the antenna from which to transmit the first symbol belonging to the sequence;
an arranger for arranging the transmission of each symbol of the sequence using not more than one antenna, whereby only one antenna is transmitting at a time; and
a starter for starting the transmission pattern from the beginning in the beginning of a next frame when a partial transmission pattern is used at the end of a frame. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
