Abstract

The outdated channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter and receiver, which is resulted from time variation of channels, is considered in multiple-input multiple-output systems employing maximal ratio combining. Closed-form expressions for the cumulative distribution function of output signal-to-noise ratio and symbol error rate under time-varying channels are presented to evaluate the effect of outdated CSI. The analytical results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations and a good agreement is obtained.
