Abstract
A network includes a transmitter and a receiver, wherein the transmitter includes a set of transmit antennas and the receiver includes a set of receive antennas. The transmitter duplicates a packet as copies of the packet, and selects subsets of the set of transmit antennas independent of channel characteristics between the subsets of transmit antennas and the set of receive antennas, wherein combinations of the antennas in the subsets of the transmit antennas are different. The receiver selects subsets of the set of receive antennas independent of channel characteristics between the subsets of receive antennas and the set of transmit antennas, wherein combinations of the antennas in the subsets of the receive antennas are different. The selected subsets are used to transmit the packet, and retransmit the packet in case of a failure in a previous transmission.
