Achievable Unified Performance Analysis of Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes with Antenna Selection over Correlated Rayleigh Fading Channels
Authors: ,
Abstract: In this paper we evaluated the performance of orthogonal space-time block codes with transmit antenna selection (TAS/OSTBCs) for frequency-flat correlated Rayleigh fading channels. By effective use of the probability density function (pdf), the bit error probability (BEP) for binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and M-ary Quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) is derived first. Further we evaluated the ergodic capacity and outage probability over correlated Rayleigh fading channels. Numerical results illustrate the impact of fading correlation on the BEP, channel capacity and outage probability.
