Abstract

In this letter, we propose modifications to existing transmit-diversity techniques to provide transmit diversity in code-division multiple-access cellular systems which must support both second-generation and third-generation mobiles on a common carrier. The proposed method, which we call symmetric-sweep transmit diversity, combines phase-sweep transmit diversity (PSTD) and space-time spreading (STS) in a way that allows second-generation and non-STS-capable mobiles to obtain the full advantage of PSTD, while third-generation mobiles obtain the full advantage of STS.
