               12. A first wireless communications device, comprising: 
            a processor configured to determine a first component carrier on which to transmit a first copy of a data message and a second component carrier on which to transmit a second copy of the data message, the first and second component carriers being different from each other; 
                the processor further configured to code the first copy of the data message for the first component carrier using a first value of a coding characteristic and the second copy of the data message for the second component carrier using a second value of the coding characteristic, the first and second values being different from each other; and 
                a transceiver configured to transmit, after the coding, the first copy of the data message on the first component carrier concurrently with the second copy of the data message on the second component carrier to a second wireless communications device.
