Abstract
A radio communications system (100) has multiple receive sites (210, 250) for providing signal diversity for a common source signal. At a receive site (210), data is received on a wireless communication channel (208), and associated signal quality determined for the data received. Coefficients of a time domain function defining the signal quality are determined and transferred, along with the data, to a central site (110). At the central site (110), the data transferred from multiple receive sites (210, 250) is weighted according to the corresponding time domain functions to recover the source signal.
