Abstract
A communication method is provided for use in a network in which users are allocated respective symbol positions within timeslots for communication to the respective users from a base station. A signal periodically transmitted from at least two antennas of the base station to a user terminal represents coded information. The signal is transmitted within each of a plurality of periodic timeslots. Within each timeslot, each antenna transmits the same coded information only during an assigned symbol position. The symbol positions assigned to the respective antennas are separated in time according to a specified sequential spacing of symbol positions within the timeslot.
