Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for MIMO OFDM transmitter and receivers having odd and/even numbers of transmit antennas. Various methods for pre-coding information bits before space time coding (STC) are described for enabling transmission of information bits over all antennas. Methods of decoding received signals that have been pre-coded and STC coded are also provided by embodiments of the invention. Pilot patterns for downlink and uplink transmission between a base station and one or more wireless terminals for three transmit antenna transmitters are also provided. Variable rate codes are provided that combine various fixed rate codes in a manner that results in codes whose rates are dependent on all the various fixed rate codes that are combined.

s3=Im{C1}+jIm {C2}; and
s4=Im {C3}+jIm {C4};
wherein:
C1 is a first of the four rotated 4PSK mapping constellations;
C2 is a second of the four rotated 4PSK mapping constellations;
C3 is a third of the four rotated 4PSK mapping constellations; and
C4 is a fourth of the four rotated 4PSK mapping constellations.
18. The device of claim 17, wherein the 4 PSK symbols are further rotated by an angle.
