Device and method for providing time switched transmission diversity in mobile communication system

摘要

The invention provides a method and apparatus for transmitting signalling information to a receiver using a plurality of transmission antennas in a time switching configuration. The apparatus includes a controller for generating a switch controlling signal in a non-overlapped time cycle for selecting one of the plurality of transmission antennas to output a transmission signal in a fixed, non-overlapped time interval. The invention further provides for a receiving device for detecting a pilot channel signal from an input forward link signal and generating estimated phase and time values for detecting a traffic channel signal at the selected estimated time position and correcting a phase error of the detected traffic channel signal based on the estimated phase value, for signal decoding.
