The invention relates to a method for decoding a received codeword repeated at a receiver station through diversity means, wherein each repetition of the received codeword includes an information vector and redundancy vector. The method comprises inputting one or more of said information vectors (Î) in said received codewords to a series of parallel decoders (106), inputting one or more of said redundancy vectors (P1, ..., PL) in said received codewords to said parallel decoders (106), decoding the information vectors separately in said parallel decoders (106) to generate a plurality of estimates ( @ ) of the information sequence, and combining (108) at least two estimates of the information sequence to generate a composite estimate.
