Disclosed is a method for providing first and second interleaved bit streams
to a modulator in order to transmit the first and second interleaved bit streams
through at least two antennas in a mobile communication system. An encoder encodes
a transmission data stream into a first bit stream with first priority and a second
bit stream with second priority being lower than the first priority. An interleaver
interleaves the first and second bit streams into the first and second interleaved
bit streams. The modulator modulates the first and second interleaved bit streams.
The method comprises distributing the first interleaved bit stream into first assignment
bit streams for the respective antennas and the second interleaved bit stream into
second assignment bit streams for the respective antennas according to power condition
information of the respective antennas; and generating combination bit streams
by combining the first assignment bit streams and the second assignment bit streams,
distributed according to the respective antennas, and providing the generated combination
bit streams to the modulator.
