FIELD: communications engineering. SUBSTANCE: receiving device designed for mobile stations receives signals sent by base station incorporating function of time switched transmission diversity (TSTD). Receiving device multiplexer functions to multiplex channel signals transmitted in TSTD mode. Pilot separator extracts pilot signal from multiplexed channel signals. Channel estimating device generates channel estimate signal by selecting pilot signals transmitted from same transmitter antenna according to TSTD mask of transmitter. Corrector is used to correct channel signals using channel estimate signal for the purpose. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of signal reception. 38 cl, 12 dwg
