1. A method for transmission having improved overall spectral efficiency in a wireless telecommunication system, comprising—
- transmitting at least one multiframe signal having a plurality of sub-frames, wherein;
three or more predefined logical channels including a frequency correction channel FCCH and a synchronization channel SCH are repeatedly embedded in predefined sub-frames;
the step of transmitting comprises—
applying transmitting diversity using at least one of antenna hopping sequences and polarisation hopping sequences, such that during the transmission of at least one said multiframe signal, each logical channel is transmitted at least twice on different antennas and/or with different polarisations;
if antenna hopping sequences are used, at least one antenna hopping sequence is applied such that each time an antenna is selected for FCCH the same antenna is selected for SCH; and
if polarisation hopping sequences are used, at least one polarisation hopping sequence is applied such that each time a polarisation is selected for FCCH the same polarisation is selected for SCH.

Abstract
The invention proposes for improving the overall spectral efficiency of wireless telecommunication systems, in particular of mobile communication systems, the transmission of at least one multiframe signal having a plurality of sub-frames with predefined logical channels (BCCH, FCCH, SCH) repeatedly embedded in predefined sub-frames, wherein a transmitter diversity is applied using antenna and/or polarization hopping sequences such that during the transmission of respective one multiframe, each logical channel (BCCH, FCCH, SCH) is transmitted at least two times with a different antenna and/or polarization.
