Abstract :
The performance of a quasi-orthogonal space-time block code with antenna selection is considered. Transmit antenna selection as well as receive antenna selection is studied. A new selection rule is proposed that minimises the average bit error ratio and achieves full diversity even if only a simple zero-forcing receiver is used.
