In a wireless communication system, SFBC-based (Space-Frequency Block-Code) transmission diversity schemes provide enhancement for multiple antennas, such as the illustrative four, in order to achieve better performance than SFBC-FSTD (SFBC-Frequency Switching Transmit Diversity) alone. SFBC-PFSTD (Precoded Frequency Switching Transmit), which is multiplying a precoding matrix to the SFBC-FSTD signals, opens up the possibility of utilizing the pilot tones in synchronization channels (SSC and/or PSC) to enhance the channel estimation performance for antenna 2 and 3 that have only the half as many pilot tones as antenna 0 and 1. Further improvements are disclosed for use of Frequency Time Switching Transmit Diversity (FTSTD) and Precoding Vector Switch.
