A mobile radio telecommunications system is described in which the same user message is transmitted with forward error correction (FEC) codes on three separate channels to a receiver (45). The FEC codes for the three signals ar e different, e.g. different bits are punctured in the first signal compared wi th the second signal and so on. The receiver (45) includes a plurality of data receivers (40-42) for extracting the received signals as well as a forward error correction decoder (48) for substantially simultaneously decoding the differently forward error correction coded signals. The extracted decoded signals can be used individually or combined in a variety of ways to improve reception.
