Abstract
A method of communicating provides multi-radio transmission diversity (MRTD). A base station receives downlink measurement reports from a mobile station regarding each of a plurality of downlinks between the mobile station and a plurality of base stations. The base station determines which of the base stations will transmit a selected transmission to the mobile station responsive to the received downlink measurement reports. The base station later receives an acknowledgement from the mobile station receiving the selected transmission. In a disclosed example, each of a plurality of base stations receives the downlink measurement reports. Each of the base stations determines, independent of the other base stations, which of the base stations will transmit the selected transmission.
