Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for encoding digital data to be communicated by a sending station, such as a base transceiver station of a cellular communication system. Space-time diversity is provided pursuant to the encoding, thereby to facilitate communication of data upon communication channels susceptible to fading conditions. Systematic and recursive encoders are configured to permit concatenation of multiple encoded data in such a way as to comply with an equal eigenvalue condition.
