We consider a receive antenna selection MIMO system, where only one receive antenna is selected out of N r antennas. Spatial channel correlation will be considered at the receiver side only. We investigate here the capacity performance of such a system. In particular, we derive a closed-form expression of its outage probability expressed in an infinite series representation. To do so, we derive the joint cumulative distribution function and joint probability density function of the squared row norms of the channel matrix by using the statistical properties of multivariate chi-square random variables. Our simulation results will be shown to validate our analytical findings.
We consider the sensor selection problem in a wireless sensor network attempting to solve a binary hypothesis testing problem. The selection is based only on the sensor observations and the focus is on the extreme case where the position of the sensors is not exploited except through its influence on the sensor observations. Decentralized processing approaches are desired. A subset of sensors are selected to transmit their observations to a fusion center where the hypothesis testing decision will be made. We propose three new sensor selection schemes based on observed data. The first scheme, called optimum sensor selection (OSS), uses all sensor observations to compute the metric used to rank each candidate subset. The second scheme, called selection by averaging over unseen sensors (SAUS), uses only the observations of the candidate subset to compute the ranking metric. The third approach, called GSAUS, is a distributed greedy sensor selection scheme based on SAUSe The performance of each proposed scheme is evaluated by Monte Carlo simulation for a Gaussian shift-in-mean hypothesis testing problem so that a comparison between the various sensor selection schemes can be performed. The results indicate that proper distributed selection approaches can provide performance close to the optimum centralized selection approaches and significant improvement over random selection, an approach which has been suggested in the past. A particular approach called the ordered magnitude log-likelihood ratio (OLLR) approach, which was suggested previously for a different problem formulation, looks especially attractive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
