One proven way to reduce noise is to repeat the signal N times and the
receiver adds up the repetitions and eventually the noise averages to zero
while the signal does not. Of course this is not what is done in practice
in real communications.

Actually, doesn't more transmitter power effectively accomplish that?
(the signal is essentially repeated N times, at the same time)
