Abstract
A radio communication system comprises a communication channel for the transmission of data packets from a primary station having a plurality of antennas to a secondary station having at least one antenna. The channel comprises a plurality of paths, and the primary station transmits a plurality of packets substantially simultaneously. Each of the plurality of packets is transmitted via a different subset of the plurality of paths. The secondary station receives the plurality of data packets, determines whether each packet is received correctly and signals this determination as an acknowledgement or a negative acknowledgement to the primary station for each of the plurality of packets.
