Performance of Alamouti scheme with transmit antenna selection

Abstract
The bit error rate of the Alamouti scheme with transmit antenna selection in flat Rayleigh fading channels is presented. Performance analysis reveals that this scheme achieves a full diversity order, as if all the transmit antennas were used. This scheme has a fixed low decoding complexity and provides a systematic method to construct full-rate space-time block codes with a full diversity order.
