Abstract

In this paper, error performances of multiple-input multiple-output systems that employ Alamouti-coded transmission with transmit antenna selection are examined for binary phase-shift keying, binary frequency-shift keying, M-ary phase-shift keying, and M-ary quadrature amplitude-modulation signals in independent but non-identically distributed flat Nakagami-m fading channels. Exact symbol error rate expressions are derived by using the moment-generating function-based analysis method. Upper bound expressions have been obtained in order to examine the asymptotic diversity order of transmit antenna selection/Alamouti scheme. Also, outage probability analysis of investigated systems has been given in order to examine the system capacity. Monte Carlo simulations have validated the analytical symbol error rate performance results.
