On the Performance of Transmit Antenna Selection Based on Shadowing Side Information

Abstract

In this paper, a transmit antenna selection scheme, which is based on shadowing side information, is investigated. In this scheme, the selected single transmit antenna provides the highest shadowing coefficient between transmitter and receiver. By the proposed technique, the frequency of the usage of the feedback channel from the receiver to the transmitter and also channel estimation complexity at the receiver can be reduced. We study the performance of our proposed technique and in the analysis, we consider an independent but not identically distributed Generalized-K composite fading model. More specifically exact and closed-form expressions for the outage probability, the moment generating function, the moments of signal-to-noise ratio, and the average symbol error probability are derived. In addition, asymptotic outage probability and symbol error probability expressions are also presented in order to investigate the diversity order and the array gain. Finally, our theoretical performance results are validated by Monte Carlo simulations.

Rayleigh Fading - Shadowing of Outdoor Channels Analysis Based on SNR-PDF Model

“…Two dimensional model for auto-correlation filter algorithm and site-to-site cross correlation of shadow fading has been used with linear interpolation scheme that is decrease the computational complexity of wireless system simulation (Zhang et al, 2012). Highest shadowing coefficient between a transmitter and receiver has been obtained at transmit antenna selection (TAS) when single transmit antenna is selected (Yilmaz et al, 2013). In indoor received signal strength indication (RSSI) ranging was used to study the effects of shadow and fading at change of distance value (Wanhee et al, 2012).…”

On the Performance of UAV Relaying With Reconfigurable Antenna and Media Based Modulation in the Presence of Shadowed Fading

“…In this architecture, receive diversity can be established by selecting the best MAP of RA, which provides the best fading or shadowing channel. The first selection procedure is almost non-applicable for the UAV systems with RA as fading information varies fast, especially in the high-frequency bands [11], [12]. On the contrary, the latter always varies slowly, which makes it a more practical selection criterion for UAV systems [13], [14].…”
