Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for transmission in a communication system. The system includes a transmitter having at least one first and second antenna and a receiver, which includes at least one receiving antenna. The method includes determining a transmit diversity scheme for at least one group of symbols from among a plurality of modulated symbols. This step includes at least one step of obtaining a phase shift of at least one symbol of the at least one group of symbols. The phase shift is based on: at least one phase shift parameter N; and responses (h, h), respectively, between the at least one first antenna and the at least one receiving antenna and between the at least one second antenna and the at least one receiving antenna. The method further includes a step of phase shifting, allowing rotation of said symbol at a multiple of a π/N value.
