Abstract
A method, and associated apparatus, for a sending station operable in a communication system, such as a cellular communication system. A codeword is formed which, when transmitted upon a channel, exhibits a selective level of space and time diversity. A TCM (Trellis Coded Modulation) scheme is provided for a multiple-antenna transmitter which accommodates transmit diversity by way of the multiple antennas without requiring the need to utilize multiple Trellis Coded Modulation techniques.
