Abstract

The performance of multiple-antenna communication systems is known to critically depend on the amount of channel state information (CSI) available at the transmitter. In the low-rate CSI feedback case, an important problem is what kind of information should be submitted to the transmitter in each feedback cycle and what is the optimal transmission strategy in this case. In this paper, we address this problem in the multiple-input single-output (MISO) case by analytically comparing the bit error rate (BER) performance of different low-rate feedback based transmitter strategies involving various combinations of transmit antenna selection, Alamouti's space-time coding, and adaptive power allocation.
