Abstract
We investigate the performance of transmit antenna selection in multi-input multi-output systems where only a single transmit antenna is selected for the transmission and multiple receive antennas are employed for maximal-ratio combining. Antenna selection is performed by a generalized selection criterion based on the ordinal number of the strength of the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Starting with the statistics such as the cumulative distribution function, the probability density function, and the moment-generating function, we derive an exact closed-from expression for the performance such as the average output SNR and the average bit-error rate. By considering Nakagami fading models, we show the dependence of the performance on the fading severity.
