system is a well investigated area in the literature. However, within the scope
of authors knowledge there are
few analytical frameworks which facilitate communication system design engineers
to select the required transmit-receive antenna combination for a given quality
of service (QoS) in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) or Symbol Error Rate (SER).
Most of such frameworks for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless systems
in the existing literature are lacking tightness between theoretical approximation
and actual simulation results. The aim of investigation in this study is to
provide theoretical expectation of receiver performance with MIMO wireless communication
system within a given channel. In this study, new analytical performance bound
frameworks with tighter lower bounds have been presented for different receivers
for MIMO systems. On the basis of the presented analytical framework, a simulation
platform has been established. The channel state information as well as expected
quality of service is assumed to be known for simplicity. Rayleigh fading channel
has been considered within simulation platform. Simulation results show that
the proposed frameworks provide degree of tightness up to 100 times at Signal
to Noise Ratio (SNR) 20 dB for (2x2) MIMO system in comparison to the existing
frameworks. Few other MIMO antenna combinations have been considered in the
evaluation process of the proposed framework.]]>Alamouti, S.,19981614511458Gritsch, G., H. Weinrichter and M. Rupp,20042004pp: 405408Guey, J.C., M.P. Fitz, M.R. Bell and W.Y.
