Abstract

In this paper we analyze the performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiplexing for BPSK and square M-QAM under Rayleigh fading. We derive exact closed-form expressions of the bit error rate (BER) assuming channel prediction error. Our analysis indicates that prediction error degrades MIMO multiplexing BER much more than MIMO beamforming BER. This is not surprising since prediction error in MIMO multiplexing leads to eigenchannel interference, which has a much greater impact on BER than the imperfect beamforming coefficients that result from such errors. Our numerical results also reveal that non-uniform rate allocation between ordered eigenchannels dramatically improves the BER.
