Abstract
A method for transmitting data in a wireless network includes wirelessly transmitting data from a base station to a plurality of spatially separated relay stations. The data is correlated according to space-time block coding (STBC) for transmission over multiple antennas. The STBC correlated data are wirelessly transmitted from the plurality of spatially separated relay stations to a mobile station. The plurality of spatially separated relay stations cooperate to provide a single multiple antenna transmission.
