Abstract

This paper discusses the packet error rate (PER) performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems. We focus our discussion on communication systems based on the IEEE 802.11a/g standard. In particular, we study the performance of spatial multiplexing systems with joint encoding at the transmitter and linear detection at the receiver. We show that spatial multiplexing systems based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) or zero forcing (ZF) demultiplexing benefit greatly from antenna subset selection. These results agree with recent analytical results showing the equivalence in diversity order between a full system (all receive antennas) and a system with antenna selection.
