Systems and methods for MIMO wireless transmission are provided. At the
transmitter, a plurality of encoded packets are modulated, and the
symbols are divided between several transmit antennas. The transmitter
spreads some of the symbols of each packet using a respective subset of
an available Walsh code space. A given transmit antenna then transmits
part of each packet spread by the respective subset. In some
implementations, this achieves the benefits of the PARC system, and at
the same time achieves part of the benefits of the STTD system.
Advantageously, only a single reverse link control channel is required if
adaptive coding and modulation is to be performed.
