Joint single transmit and receive antenna selection for MIMO cognitive radios without channel state information

Abstract

For multiple-input multiple-output cognitive radios, a single transmit and receive antenna selection scheme is proposed for when the channel state information from a cognitive transmitter to a cognitive receiver is unknown to the transmitter. In the proposed scheme, the transmit antenna at the cognitive transmitter that maximises the transmit power and the receive antenna at the cognitive receiver that maximises the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio are selected. Also derived is the exact closed-form outage probability considering the peak interference power constraint, the peak transmit power constraint, and interference from the primary transmitter to the cognitive receiver. © 2013 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.
