Abstract

In this paper, unified BER performance and outage probability analyses of downlink multiuser scheduling for multiple-input multiple-output (MUS-MIMO) transmission/combining (transceiving) systems with imperfect channel state information (CSI) caused by feedback over Rayleigh fading channels is presented. The unified analysis is applicable to MIMO transceiving systems whose received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is given as largest order statistic of chi-square distribution. The performance of MUS-MIMO employing selective transmission/selective combining (ST/SC), ST/maximum ratio combining (MRC) and space-time block codes (STBC) can be analyzed by this general framework. Accurate and approximate unified closed-form BER and outage probability expressions of the MUS-MIMO transceiving system with normalized SNR-based scheduling in heterogeneous networks are derived. Based on the approximate BER and outage probability expressions, diversity gains are analyzed at high SNR. The results indicate that the MUS-MIMO for using the three transceiving schemes can achieve full diversity order for perfect CSI, while the diversity gain is degraded differently for the three transceiving schemes under imperfect CSI. Computer simulation shows that the theoretical analysis is in good agreement with simulation results, and the approximate BER expressions are very close to the accurate ones but with lower computational complexity. © 2014 IEEE.
