Summary Uncoded space‐time labeling diversity (USTLD) is a recent scheme that improves the error performance of space‐time block–coded wireless communication links. However, the existing space‐time labeling diversity technique used in USTLD only employs two transmit antennas. To further improve error performance in USTLD systems, this paper investigates USTLD systems with three transmit antennas. A heuristic approach is proposed to design the second and third mappers. Simulation results show superior error performance compared with the existing two transmit antenna USTLD. Furthermore, an analytical expression for a tight bound of the average bit error probability of the proposed system with three transmit antennas is derived. Moreover, complexity reduction analysis of the low‐complexity (LC) detector is proposed. It is shown that the proposed LC algorithm achieves near‐maximum likelihood detection accuracy, while reducing complexity by 51% and 96.5% for 16QAM and 64QAM, respectively.
