Turbo coding is employed with space-time spreading (STS) transmission to improve transmission error performance and efficiency in addressing multipath fading. Different subsets of parity data are transmitted via each antenna/channel, with either subset alone sufficient for error recovery. In general, however, both channels will be received with some fidelity, and the parity data from the two channels is combined and decoded as a lower code rate transmission. Systematic data may be transmitted on both channels, with or without interleaving on an alternate channel. Time diversity may also be introduced by transmitting only part of the parity data within the two parity data subsets, then transmitting the remainder if the receiver could not produce the correct decoding from the original transmission.
