An open-loop diversity method for a time division multiple access cellular radio communicatio system (100), comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of busts (310, 320) of data, each burst of data comprising a same information content as the other bursts of data, such that the busts of data can be distinguished from each other when received; substantially simultaneously transmitting the bursts of data from respective different antennas (120, 122); receiving the bursts of data from the different antennas; analysing the received burst of data; and retieving the information content from the distinguished busts of data. The cellular communication system thus implements provision, transmission, reception and processing of substantially simultaneous diversity bursts. In a preferred embodiment, training sequences (316, 326) are modified to enable data from different antennas to be distinguished.
