In a mobile communication system, independent versions of a signal are transmitted over plural antennas. The antennas are either spatially separated or orthogonally polarized with respect to each other so that the independent versions of the signal are not subjected to correlated fading. Each independent version of the signal is transmitted from a respective antenna a fixed delay after transmission of a previous version of a signal from a different antenna. The fixed delay is at least one information bit of the signal. Received versions of the signal are equalized in an equalizer or RAKE architecture to provide a composite signal. The equalizer has respective sets of equalizer taps that are separated from adjacent sets of equalizer taps by the fixed delay. The RAKE architecture has respective sets of RAKE fingers that are separated from adjacent sets of RAKE fingers by the fixed delay.

[ What is claimed:] [1.]1. A mobile station of a mobile communication system comprising:an antenna for receiving multiple versions of a signal transmitted at least twice with a fixed delay between each transmission, the fixed delay being at least one information bit of the signal; andan equalizer for equalizing each version of the signal received by said antenna to provide a composite signal,said equalizer having respective sets of equalizing taps each being separated from an adjacent set of equalizing taps by the fixed delay.
