1. A method implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for transmission of symbols using aggregated channels, the method comprising:
receiving, at the WTRU, a set of bits;
partitioning the set of bits into a plurality of partitioned bit sets;
generating first and second sets of complex-valued symbols based on the partitioned bit sets using dual modulation at least in part by (i) mapping the partitioned bit sets to a first symbol set using a first constellation mapping associated with a first constellation and (ii) mapping the partitioned bit sets to a second symbol set using a second constellation mapping associated with a second constellation, wherein the first constellation mapping and the second constellation mapping each map a respective partitioned bit set to different constellation signal points and the second constellation mapping is representative of a mapping which is associated with a rotated first constellation; and
and transmitting, by the WTRU using the selected aggregated channels, (1) a first transmission of the first symbol set associated with a first partitioned bit set using a first single carrier (SC) channel in the aggregated channels and (2) a second transmission of the second symbol set associated with the first partitioned bit set using a second SC channel in the aggregated channels,
wherein:
the first transmission of the first symbol set associated with the first partitioned bit set and the second transmission of the second symbol set associated with the first partitioned bit set are spatially and temporally offset from each other, and
the first transmission associated with the first SC channel and the second transmission associated with the second SC channel are indexed using a single, common index, and
the first SC channel carries a first spatial stream of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission and the second SC channel carries a second spatial stream of the MIMO transmission.
