Abstract
Method and apparatus for preparing a message stream of symbols for wireless transmission by pre-coding it through convolution with a characteristic 'signature' of predetermined symbols identifying a particular user of the message system. The time duration of the signature should exceed the inter-symbol interval of the message stream in order to reduce the likelihood of error caused by fading in the transmission channel.
