Abstract :
We propose a method for differential transmission with multiple basestation antennas. The method is suitable for mobile cellular applications because it does not require the handset to have more than one antenna or to know the time-varying propagation environment. Yet the method achieves full transmitter diversity and can significantly lower the error probability over a single-antenna system. Some explicit signal constructions are described
