Abstract
The reception of repeated bursts of identical information in a radio communications system is made faster and more secure by a receiving unit including a device for receiving and processing incoming signals from a transmitting unit in the same radio communications system, a buffer for temporarily storing repeated bursts, and a device for equalizing and combining at least two of the repeated bursts. The receiving unit may also include (for diversity) a duplicated receiving device for receiving signals from two different antennas and an equalizing and combining device for equalizing and combining the signals received by the duplicated receiving device. The receiving unit may be located in a radio base station or in a radio terminal in a radio communications system. The repeated bursts are received and stored in buffers, before the information of at least two repeated bursts is equalized and combined to form a more reliable signal.
