Abstract  Abstract

Spatial spreading is performed in a multi-antenna system to randomize an "effective" channel observed by a receiving entity for each transmitted data symbol block. For a MIMO system, at a transmitting entity, data is processed (e.g., encoded, interleaved, and modulated) to obtain ND data symbol blocks to be transmitted in NM transmission spans, where No >_ 1 and NM > 1. The ND blocks are partitioned into NM data symbol subblocks, one subblock for each transmission span. A steering matrix is selected (e.g., in a deterministic or pseudo-random manner from among a set of L steering matrices, where L > 1) for each subblock. Each data symbol subblock is spatially processed with the steering matrix selected for that subblock to obtain transmit symbols, which are further processed and transmitted via NT transmit antennas in one transmission span. The ND data symbol blocks are thus spatially processed with NM steering matrices and observe an ensemble of channels. Process (e.g., encode, interleave, and modulate) data to obtain N O data symbol blocks ' r114 Partition the N o data symbol blocks into N M data symbol subblocks to be transmitted in N M transmission spans £ 116 m=l ; 1.118 Select a steering matrix V(m) for transmission span m t.12o 1 Perform spatial processing on data symbol subblock m with steering matrix V(m) to obtain transmit symbols 1-122 Process and send the transmit symbols via N T transmit antennas in transmission span m
