Apparatus, and associated method, verifies values of antenna weightings
used to weight transmit signals transmitted by a base transceiver station which
utilizes transmit diversity. Verification is performed at a mobile station which
receives transmit signals sent by the base transceiver station. Sequence estimation
is provided by a sequence estimator which thereby verifies the values of the feedback
information. Once verified, the values are returned to the base transceiver station
and are utilized to adjust the weightings of the antennas for subsequently-communicated
signals by the base station. The use of sequence estimation permits improved accuracy
of verification of the values of the antenna weightings.
