Method for performance enhancement in a cell edge region

A method for receiving data at different tones, said method comprising:

• receiving a first transmission packet comprising data at a first set of tones;
• receiving a second transmission packet comprising said data at a second set of tones;
• maintaining communication with transmission entities which transmit said first transmission packet and said second transmission packet;
• and
• identifying reception quality of said first transmission packet and said second transmission packet.

A method for retransmitting subpackets, said method comprising:

• transmitting a first subpacket of a packet transmission from at least two transmitting entities;
• upon receiving a negative acknowledgement NACK generated responsive to said first subpacket, alternating transmission of subsequent subpackets from different transmitting entities of said at least two transmitting entities;
• and
• upon receiving an acknowledgement ACK generated responsive to any subpackets of said packet transmission, transmitting a first subpacket of a new packet transmission.

A method for retransmitting subpackets, said method comprising:

• transmitting a first subpacket of a packet transmission from at least two transmitting entities;
• upon receiving a negative acknowledgement NACK generated responsive to said first subpacket, transmitting, by all of said at least two transmitting entities, subsequent subpackets at different transmission power relative to transmission power used for said first subpacket;
• and
• upon receiving an acknowledgement ACK generated responsive to any subpackets of said packet transmission, transmitting a first subpacket of a new packet transmission.
