ABER of Transmit Antenna Selection with Maximal Ratio Combinining-MIMO System over Nakagami-m Fading Channels

Abstract

Abstract

This paper presents the average bit error rate (ABER) of a multiuser, multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) wireless system. Transmit antenna selection at the base station and maximal ratio combining at the receiver is considered for downlink transmission. For coherent and noncoherent modulation schemes, ABER performance of the system is analyzed. The closed form expressions have been derived for ABER considering Nakagami-m fading channels. The effects of fading parameter and selection gain on the ABER of the system have been observed. The results are validated by the computer simulation.

Keywords: ABER, Multiple input multiple output (MIMO), Transmit antenna selection and maximal ratio combining (TAS/MRC), Nakagami-m fading
