ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus providing antenna diversity is disclosed. A set of bits of a digital signal are used to generate a codeword of N symbols. Codewords are provided according to a channel code having a minimum Hamming distance, d.sub.min, where 2.ltoreq.d.sub.m .ltoreq.N. N signals representing N symbols of a codeword are transmitted with N different antennas. The N transmitted signals are received and isolated. A sequence of N received symbols is formed from the isolated symbols and compared with one or more valid codewords to associate the sequence with a codeword. A set of bits based on a codeword associated with the received sequence is generated.
