BACKGROUND
The disclosed invention is directed to an information
transmission system which incorporates techniquies to
counteract the effect of fading. "The invention utilizes
three prior art techniques known for improving reliability of
the overall transmission process: error coding, interleaving,
and frequency diversity (simultaneous transmission of the
entire signal over two different frequencies), but eliminates
redundant transmission." (Brief, page 2.)
Claim 26 is reproduced below.
26. An information transmission system, comprising a
plurality of stations, said stations being arranged to
exchange information signals by transmitting a plurality
of time multiplexed signals over a plurality of channels
having different carrier frequencies, wherein
one of said stations comprises:
means for encoding a first of said information
signals with an error correction code, to form a first
encoded sample,
means for interleaving parts of said first encoded
sample to form a first sequence of parts,
