In this paper we propose a generalization of extended orthogonal space-time block codes (EO-STBCs) for MIMO (multi-input/multi-output) channels using four transmit antennas for quasi-static flat fading channels. Since full rate and complex orthogonal space-time block codes (STBCs) do not exist for more than two transmit antennas, we propose a feedback based STBC scheme. In this scheme, phases of certain symbols are rotated according to the feedback from the receiver which is equivalent to rotating the phases of the corresponding channel coefficients. Simulation results show that this rotation phase feedback method achieves a satisfactory performance and outperforms the previous closed-loop space-time block codes, even when the feedback is quantized.
