Abstract
A transmission method in a communications system has an orthogonal vector and a quasi orthogonal masking function for obtaining a quasi orthogonal vector from the orthogonal vector. Message signals are transmitted according to the quasi orthogonal vector. The method includes receiving the quasi orthogonal masking function and permuting the quasi orthogonal masking function to provide a further quasi orthogonal masking function. The further quasi orthogonal masking function is applied to the orthogonal vector to provide a further quasi orthogonal vector. The further quasi orthogonal vector is applied to the message signal to provide an encoded message signal for transmitting the encoded message signal within the communications system.
