Performance analysis of OFDM system with transmit antenna selection using delayed feedback

We consider orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in a multiple input single output (MISO) system. In the presence of spatially uncorrelated time-varying frequency selective channel, we use subcarrier by subcarrier antenna selection using delayed feedback. We derive closed-form expressions for the pdf of the received SNR and BER for MQAM constellation. The expressions have been obtained as a function of the correlation ( ) between perfect channel state information (CSI) and delayed CSI, where 0 ≤ ≤ 1. We have verified our analytical expressions by comparing them with simulation results. We have also reduced the BER expression for some special cases and compared them with the results available in the literature. We conclude that the diversity gain of the considered system is reduced to one for < 1, i.e. not having perfect antenna selection for each subcarrier. However, we get some coding gain compared to single input single output system, the coding gain reduces with decreasing the correlation. © 2013 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
