Abstract

This paper analyzes the performance of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems with transmit and receive antenna selection (T-RAS). The average bit error rate (BER) and the average symbol error rate (SER) are derived by utilizing the characteristic function (CF) of the joint output signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Our approach can be used over not only independent but also arbitrary correlated channels. For the sake of brevity, this paper focuses on Nakagami-m fading channels. The simulation results are provided to validate the numerical calculations.
