Transmitting and receiving schemes for multiuser single-carrier space time spreading with frequency domain equalization

A transmitter apparatus to transmit a first chip-block and a second chip-block over a single-carrier communication channel, the transmitter apparatus comprising:

• a transmit manager, the transmit manager including logic configured to:
• encode data in a first block of symbols and encode the data in a second block of symbols;
• generate a first chip-block and a second chip-block, the generated first chip-block and the generated second chip-block to separately include the first block of symbols and the second block of symbols that have been spread based, at least in part, on a first orthogonal spreading code and a second orthogonal spreading code and then combined by superimposing and/or interleaving the spread block of symbols from the first block of symbols with the spread block of symbols from the second block of symbols;
• and
• initiate a transmission over the single-carrier communication channel of the first chip-block with a transmitter via a first antenna and initiate a transmission of the second chip-block with the transmitter via a second antenna.

A transmitter system to transmit a first chip-block and a second chip-block over a single-carrier communication channel, the transmitter system comprising:

• an antenna array, the antenna array to include a first antenna and a second antenna;
• and
• a transmit manager, the transmit manager including logic configured to:
• encode data in the first block of symbols and encode the data in the second block of symbols;
• generate a first chip-block and a second chip-block, the generated first chip-block and the generated second chip-block to separately include the first block of symbols and the second block of symbols that have been spread based, at least in part, on a first orthogonal spreading code and a second orthogonal spreading code and then combined by superimposing and/or interleaving the spread block of symbols from the first block of symbols with the spread block of symbols from the second block of symbols;
• and
• initiate a transmission over the single-carrier communication channel of the first chip-block with a transmitter through the first antenna and initiate a transmission of the second chip-block through the second antenna of the transmitter.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions for transmitting a first chip-block and a second chip-block over a single-carrier communication channel, which, when executed by logic, cause the logic to:

• encode data in a first block of symbols and encode the data in a second block of symbols;
• generate a first chip-block and a second chip-block, the generated first chip-block and the generated second chip-block to separately include the first block of symbols and the second block of symbols that have been spread based, at least in part, on a first orthogonal spreading code and a second orthogonal spreading code and then combined by superimposing and/or interleaving the spread block of symbols from the first block of symbols with the spread block of symbols from the second block of symbols;
• and
• initiate a transmission over the single-carrier communication channel of the first chip-block with a transmitter through a first antenna and initiate a transmission of the second chip-block with the transmitter through a second antenna.
