Abstract
Methods, computer-readable media, and devices are provided that support antenna diversity in a communication system. In an exemplary method, a signal is received from a first device at a second device in a first channel. A determination is made concerning whether or not transmit diversity is applied to the first channel. If transmit diversity is applied to the first channel; a first channel estimate is determined based on a first pilot signal received from the first device and a second channel estimate is determined based on a second pilot signal received from the first device. The received signal is decoded based on the first channel estimate and the second channel estimate.
