`I. INTRODUCTION
`MIMO (multiple•input - multiple output) wireless systems
`are those that have antenna arrays .at both transmitter and re(cid:173)
`ceiver. First simulation studies that reveal the potentially large
`capacities of those systems were already done in the 1980s
`[l], and later papers explored the capacity analytically [2], [3].
`Since that time, interest in MIMO systems p.as exploded. Lay•
`ered space-time (ST) receiver structures and coding strategies
`allow to approach the theoretical capacities; such systems have
`become known as "spatial multiplexing" or "BLAST" systems

`1) The fading at the different antenna elements is indepen-
`dent, identically distributed Rayleigh fading.
`2) The fading is frequency flat.
`3) The receiver have perfect knowledge of the channel.
`4) The channel is quasi-static. The capacity thus becomes a
`random variable, rendering the concept of a "capacity cu(cid:173)
`mulative distribution function" and "outage capacity [2]
`a meaningful measure.
`The input-output relationship can thus be written as

`
`III. PERFORMANCE RESULTS
`
`·
`
`A. Diversity
`For the case of pure transmit diversity with channel knowl(cid:173)
`edge, 7 ="it• s, wheres is a (scalar) symbol. This means that
`we are just transmitting a single symbol, differently weighted,
`over the different antenna elements. Similarly, at the receiver,
`we obtain a "soft" symbol estimate as -:;Jul•, which is then
`processed ( decoded and demodulated) in the usual way.
`References [7], [8] analyze the case where there is an(cid:173)
`tenna selection only at one link end, while the other one uses
`~um-ratio combining. Define a set of matrices H, where
`His created by striking N, -_Lt _columns from H, and S(H)

`achievable SNR 'Y of the reduced-complexity system is now

`
`where the A; are the singular values of H. The papers give
`analytical expressions for upper and lower bounds on the SNR.
`as well as Monte Carlo simulations of the exact results for the
`SNR as weU as the BER and capacity derived from it. The mean
`SNR E { 'Y} is computed in [9].
`Figure 2 shows the cwnulative distribution of the capacity
`for different values of Lt, with mean SNR f = 20 48, N, = 2.
`N, = 8. The capacity obtained with L, = 3 is already very
`close to the capacity of a full-complexity scheme. For compari(cid:173)
`son, we also show the capacity with pure Mirr. Actually, it can
`be shown that the diversity degree obtained with antenna selec(cid:173)
`tion is proportional to N, not to L. Also for a space-time-coded
`system, where the transmitter has no channel knowledge, and
`the :receiver perfonns antenna selection, the achievable diversity
`is NtNr, while a coding gain decreases by up to 10log(Nr/ L),
`see [10].
`In a highly correlated channel, no diversity gain can be
`achieved, but all gain is due to improvment of the mean SNR.
`Thus antenna selection is ineffective, and the SNR gain is only
`influenced by the number of actually used antenna elements.

`
`to unity. The receiver now selects those antennas that allow
`a muimization of the capacity. As shown in Ref. [2], the
`capacity is linearly proportional to min(N., N1}. Any further
`increase of either N, or N, while keeping the other one fixed
`only increases the diversity degree, and consequently allows a
`logarithmic increase of the capacity. Thus, if the number of
`antennas at one link end is limited e.g. due to space :restric(cid:173)
`tions, a further increase in the antenna number at the other link
`end does not allow to add statistically independent transmission
`channels (which would imply linear- increase in system capac(cid:173)
`ity), but only provides additional diversity. But we have already
`seen that antenna selection gives good diversity degree. We can
`thus anticipate that a hybrid scheme with N, > L, = N, to give
`good perfonnance. This line of argument can be quantified by
`performance bounds [11], [12).
`Figure 3 shows the cwnulative distribution function (cdf) of
`capacity for N, = 8, N, = 3, and various L,. With full ex(cid:173)
`ploitation of all available elements, an outage capacity of 21.8
`bit/s/Hz can be achieved at 20dB SNR. This number decreases
`gradually as the number of selected elements L, is decreased,
`reaching 18.2 bit/s/Hz at L, = 3. For L, < N., the capac(cid:173)
`ity decreases drastically, since a sufficient number of antennas
`to provide N, independent transmission channels is no longer
`available.
`At low SNRs, diversity can give higher capacities than spatial
`multiplell.ing when antenna selection is employed, [13], similar
`results also hold in the case of strong interference [14].

`
`V. EFFECT OF NONlDEALITIES
`A. Low-rank channels
`Previously, we have assumed that the channel is i.i.d. com(cid:173)
`plex Gaussian, or shows some correlation at the transmitter
`and/or receiver. However, in all of those cases is the chan(cid:173)
`nel matrix full-rank, and the goal of the antenna selection is
`to decrease complexity, while keeping the performance loss as
`small as possible. There are, however, also propagation chan(cid:173)
`nels where the matrix lJ.. has reduced rank [22]. Under those
`circumstances, antenna selection can actually increase the ca(cid:173)
`pacity of the channel [23].
`
`·
`
`B. Frequency-selective channel
`In frequency-selective channels, the effectiveness of antenna
`selection is considerably reduced. For different (uncorrelated)
`frequency bands, different sets of antenna elements are opti(cid:173)
`mum. Thus, in the limit that the system bandwidth is much
`larger than the coherence bandwidth of the channel, and if the
`number of resolvable multipath components is large, all pos(cid:173)
`sible antenna subsets become equivalent. This can also be in(cid:173)
`terpreted by the fact that such a system has a very high diver(cid:173)
`sity degree, so that any additional diversity from antenna se(cid:173)
`lection would be ineffective anyway. However, for moderately
`frequency-selective channels, antenna selection still gives sig(cid:173)
`nificant benefits. A precoding scheme for CDMA that achieves
`such benefits is described in [24].

`space-time coded system is derived in [9], (15], (16]. The opti(cid:173)
`mum antenna selection is thus the one that maximizes the deter(cid:173)
`minants of .B_. Assume further that the so-called "K.ronecker(cid:173)
`model" [17], [18] is valid, so that the total correlation fan be
`described by the correlation matrices at TX and RX, Jk and
`Hr. In that case, the selection at the transmitter and the receiver
`can be done independently.

`lection on the capacity of the system [25]. We assume that
`in a first stage, the complete channel transfer matrix is esti-

`The simplest selection algorithm is the one that chooses the

`antenna elements with the largest power, i.e., the largest Frobe-
`tenna weights, (iii) imperfect choice of the antennas, as well as
`of the antenna weights at the transmitter, and perfect antenna
`nius column (or row) norm. For the diversity case, this algo-
`rithm is quite effective. However, for spatial multiplexing, this weights at the receiver, and (iv) impelfect choice of the antenna

`D. Hardware aspects
`
`Finally, we consider the effects of the hardware on the per(cid:173)
`formance. In all the previous sections, we had assumed "ideal"
`RF switches with the following properties:
`• they do not cause any attenuation or additional noise in the
`receiver
`• they are capable of switching instantaneously
`• they have the same transfer function irrespective of the
`output and input port, and should be linear
`Obviously, those conditions cannot be completely fulfilled in
`practice. The attenuation by the switches is the most critical
`issue. In the TX, the attenuation by the switch must be com(cid:173)
`pensated by using a power amplifier with higher output power.
`At the receiver, the attenuation of the switch plays a minor role
`only if the switch is placed after the low-noise receiver ampli(cid:173)
`fier (LNA). However, that implies that N, instead of Lr receive
`amplifiers are required, eliminating a considerable part of the
`savings of antenna selection.

`
`This paper presented an overview of MIMD systems with an-
`tenna selection. Either the transmitter, the receiver, or both use
`only the signals from a subset of the available antennas. This
`allows considerable reductions in the hardware expense. We
`found that antenna selection retains the diversity degree ( com-
`pared to the full-complexity system), both for linear diversity
`systems with complete channel knowledge, and for space-time
`coded systems. However, there is a penalty with respect to the
`average SNR. For spatial multiplexing systems (BLAST), an-
`tenna selection at the receiver gives a capacity comparable to
`the full-comple.x:ity system as long as Lr 2: Nt (and similarly
`for the selection at the transmitter). Thus antenna selection is an
`extremely attractive scheme for reducing the hardware expense
`in MIMO systems.
