Abstract

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) diversity systems with maximum ratio transmission at the transmitter and selection combining at the receiver (MRT/SC) are presented to obtain the tradeoff between the system performance and receiver complexity. Closed-form expressions for average symbol error rate (SER) in single-user scenario and average capacity in multi-user scenario are derived to get the performance of MIMO MRT/SC systems under independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh fading. Our study shows that performance of MIMO MRT/SC systems outperforms that of MIMO space-time block coding systems. The analytical results are compared with the simulation results and a good agreement is obtained.
