ABSTRACT
This paper presents an overview of recent progress in the area of very high capacities can be obtained in Wireless systems by employing Space time coding (STC) in multiple antenna elements at both the transmitter and the receiver end of a wireless system. In multiple inputs and multiple output (MIMO) system of wireless communication, Space time coding (STC) is one of the attractive techniques for high bit-rate and high capacity transmission. The space-time codes in MIMO provide additional diversity and spatial multiplexing advantages that is obtained by shifting the complexity of adding additional antennas to the transmitter while allowing the complexity of receiver to be reasonably low. Methods for providing transmit diversity in communication over fading channels also been concerned. This paper also concatenation that MIMO system can achieve the good error rate performance and coding gain by the STC, here we evaluate the simulation of bit error rate (BER) of the STC with multiple transmit antennas in Rayleigh fading environments.

1. INTRODUCTION
Current wireless systems like cellular mobile phones, wireless local area network (WLAN), Bluetooth, mobile low earth orbit (LEO) satellite etc. all require very high data rate (>100 mbps), lower delay, greater transmission reliability and wider coverage. So we can say that latest wireless services demand higher data rates and better quality of service. But the limitations are fading, limited available spectrum and battery life of wireless portable devices. However, transmission reliability in wireless channels is a challenging issue as wireless links represent a harsh medium with high path loss, time-varying multipath fading and power and bandwidth limitations. Together with thermal noise, these factors severely degrade the quality of data transmission. Utilizing more than one antenna at a transmitter and receiver sides of the wireless communication is known as MIMO (multipleinput, multiple-output). This technique Promises significant enhancements of system performance without requiring the allocation of extra spectrum [1, 2]. By transmitting multiple copies of data, a MIMO system can effectively combat the effects of fading. The fundamental theoretical research of this new approach which utilizes multiple antennas to increase network capacity was 91

pioneered by Winter [3], Telatar [1], Foschini [4] and Gans [2]. Their work predicted that enormous capacity gains can be obtained for MIMO systems in fading channels. Utilizing more than one antenna at a transmitter and receiver sides (i.e. MIMO) in the wireless communication can be applied in various ways. A technique called spatial multiplexing seeks to enhance the spectrum efficiency by simultaneous transmission of independent data streams. One alternative method called space-time coding [5, 6] improves the link reliability by introducing spatial diversity (also referred to as antenna diversity). A single data stream is encoded and the resulting signals transmitted from the multiple antenna elements are highly correlated. This redundancy in time and space enables the receiver to optimally combine the signal components picked up by the respective receive antennas [7]. The spatial multiplexing directly improve the datarate of the system, one can attain a similar benefit with the help of space-time coding. In a multipath fading situation the additional diversity increases the average quality of the received signal. Within given transmitpower constraints this can for instance be exploited by applying higher modulation formats, thus indirectly enhancing the achievable spectrum efficiency [8].
