   The use of multiple communication paths or channels to achieve efficiency and error protection. The main types of diversity used in mobile communications are - Antenna or spatial diversity: using multiple transmit and/or receive antennas to exploit multipath effects (typically in CDMA). Frequency diversity: transmitting on multiple frequencies as in spread spectrum techniques like CDMA and or frequency hopping as used in GSM. Time diversity: transmitting information at different times as in the spreading used in CDMA and interleaving as used in GSM. Diversity is especially effective in overcoming various types of interference. Spatial diversity overcomes multipath interference, frequency diversity overcomes single frequency interfering signals and time diversity overcomes short bursts of interference.
