In this paper, full-rate and complex orthogonal space-time block code (STBC) schemes for multiple antennas are proposed, and turbo code is employed as channel coding to improve the proposed STBC schemes performance further. Compared with full-diversity multiple antennas STBC schemes, the proposed schemes can implement full data rate, partial diversity and a smaller complexity. On the condition of the same system throughput and concatenation of turbo code, the proposed schemes have lower bit error rate (BER) than those low-rate and full-diversity code schemes.
