Abstract :
In this letter, a performance analysis is presented for a joint multiuser scheduling and antenna selection in MIMO systems employing orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) over Rayleigh fading channels under a general case of heterogeneous scenario. Using numerical evaluations the performance of different cases of the considered scheme are compared for heterogeneous and homogeneous scenarios.
