<p>An apparatus (100) for transmitting information comprises a bitstream source (110) for providing a bitstream representing the information, a redundancy adding encoder (120) for generating an encoded bitstream, which is arranged to output, for a first number of input bits and a second number of output bits. The apparatus (100) further comprises means (130) for partitioning the second number of output bits into the two portions of output bits and means (140) for transmitting the output bits of the first portion via a first channel (300) and the output bits of the second portion via second channel (400) being spatially different from the first channel (300). An inventive receiving apparatus (200) combines (230) the signals received via the first and second channels (300, 400) and uses both channel signals for channel decoding (220) by removing redundancy.</p> |
