MACRO-DIVERSITY TECHNIQUE FOR MULTICAST TRANSMISSION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention provides a method multicasting that provides macro-diversity. Embodiments of the method may include receiving, at a mobile unit, a plurality of encoded signals indicative of at least one packet over a corresponding plurality of substantially orthogonal frequency channels associated with a plurality of transmitters. The method may also include demodulating the information indicative of the packet(s) using the plurality of encoded signals and storing the demodulated information.
