ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention extend the benefits of mobile transmit diversity to the initialization phase of communication with a base station over a random access channel. According to a method of the invention, the transmitter may attempt to initiate communication with a receiver by varying a transmit diversity parameter, for example, phase difference, in addition to or instead of varying power settings.
