A first radio signal is received that was transmitted from a first antenna at a transmitter and a second radio signal transmitted from a second antenna at the transmitter different from the first antenna. The first radio signal is converted to a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) frame signal, and the second radio signal is converted to a second OFDM frame signal. The first OFDM frame signal includes a grid of multiple frequency subcarriers and time periods, each time period with the frequency carriers corresponding to a first OFDM symbol such that the first OFDM frame includes first OFDM symbols. A first OFDM symbol is carried on frequency subcarriers during a time period, and the first OFDM frame includes first reference OFDM symbols located at corresponding time-frequency resource elements in the grid. Each resource element is defined by a one of the frequency subcarriers and one of the time periods. The second OFDM frame signal is similar and includes second reference OFDM symbols sharing the same grid of frequency subcarriers and time periods as the first OFDM frame. But the second reference OFDM symbols are located at corresponding time-frequency resource elements in the grid different than the corresponding time-frequency resource elements to which the first reference OFDM signals are located their respective OFDM frame signals. The first and second reference OFDM symbols are used to demodulate the first and second OFDM frame signals.
