Abstract Orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) have attracted considerable attention due to their low complexity linear decoding and full diversity in Rayleigh fading channels. However, OSTBCs exist only for certain numbers of transmit antennas and do not provide full code rate when more than two transmit antennas are used. In this paper, a novel rate-2 algebraic space-time code that combines coordinate-interleaving and group precoding is proposed. By properly choosing the designed parameters, the coding scheme can achieve full diversity order and high coding gain. The receiver adopts polynomial complexity sphere decoding algorithm to get maximum likelihood (ML) performance. Analysis and simulations illustrate that the new code exhibits significant performance gain over the conventional OSTBCs and diagonal algebraic space-time code.
