1. A wireless receiver for receiving multiple space time encoded signals from a plurality of transmit antenna sets, wherein the multiple space time encoded signals comprise a set of symbols and wherein each transmit antenna set is coupled to a corresponding encoder at a single transmitter, the receiver comprising: a plurality of receive antennas; collection circuitry, coupled to the plurality of receive antennas, for collecting a plurality of signal samples for a plurality of successive time instances and from each of the plurality of receive antennas, wherein the samples comprise samples of multipaths of the space time encoded signals; circuitry, coupled to the plurality of receive antennas, for determining a linear time invariant multiple-input multiple-output matrix in response to pilot values in the received multiple space time encoded signals; and circuitry for estimating at least selected ones of the symbols in response to the signal samples and the linear time invariant multiple-input multiple-output matrix.
