Performance Analysis of Space-Time Line Code in Correlated Fading Channels

Pilot‐aided 1 × 2 and 2 × 2 space‐time line code systems with transmit antenna selection

“…where the meanings of n,a,b,u i and θ i are the same as the ones in ( 13), ã ¼ 1 À a and c ¼ 1 2 e À b 2 γ À a 2 e Àbγ . Substituting ( 17) into (16), p e γ ð Þ is easily derived for a given N t , which is given by…”

“…The error performance bound is also derived for the STLC system with both transmit and receive antenna selection in Pang et al 14 Based on the moment‐generating function (MGF) method, the approximated expression of error performance for the STLC with TAS is derived in Lim and Joung 15 . The error performance of the STLC systems without TAS in the correlated fading channel is analyzed in Pang et al 16 In this paper, based on the equivalent received signal model, we use a more direct and simpler approach to derive the average symbol error probability (ASEP) of the coherent STLC systems with TAS, which represents the lower bound of the pilot‐aided STLC systems with TAS. In a similar manner, we further derive the ASEP of the coherent STLC systems without TAS, which represents the lower bound of the pilot‐aided STLC systems.…”
