Effects of Erroneous CSI on the Performance of Multiple-Transmit Antenna Selection

الملخص EN

The paper assumes that the channel state information (CSI) is available at the receiver and is known partially at the transmitter through a feedback channel.

The bit error rate (BER) performance of multiple transmit antenna selection (MTAS) for the multiple-input and single-output (MISO) system with STBC (MTAS/MISO-STBC) will be investigated in detail.

Meanwhile, the selection criterion that maximizes the channel Frobenius norm or minimizes the error probability of MTAS/MISO-STBC system is employed.

In two cases of erroneous CSI (ECSI) and inerrable CSI (ICSI), wireless channels of the MTAS systems are modeled and their analytical expressions are derived.

For the case of ICSI, the exact BER expressions of the Chernoff upper bound (CUB) for both the MISO-STBC system of full complexity and MTAS system are evaluated, respectively.

Next, for the ECSI case, a comprehensive analytical expression of BER CUB for the same system is derived in detail.

Finally, extensive Monte-Carlo simulations are presented to support and validate our numerical analysis proposed in this paper.

Both the simulating results and the numerical results show that MTAS can reduce effectively the effect of the erroneous CSI.
