Apparatus, and associated method, for effectuating transmit diversity in a commucation system

摘要

Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating communications in a non-ideal communication system. Data to be communicated by a sending station to a receiving station selectably utilizes an open-loop transmit diversity scheme and a closed-loop transmit diversity scheme. A determiner at the receiving station determines closed-loop feedback information and a determiner thereat also determines the reliability to be associated with such feedback information. The reliability indications and the feedback indications are returned to the sending station. And a selector positioned thereat selects in what manner to utilize open-loop and closed-loop transmit diversity for subsequent communications.
