Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the bit error rate (BER) analysis of the scheduled transmit antenna selection (TAS) with maximal ratio combining (MRC) for the cognitive radio multiple-input multiple-output (CR-MIMO) systems. As a first step, this paper derives approximate probability density functions (PDFs) of the effective signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the proposed scheduled TAS with MRC in CR-MIMO systems. Next, the tight closed-form expressions of the BER for the M-ary QAM and M-ary PSK modulations are presented, respectively. Using asymptotic analysis, we approximate the BER for the scheduled system, and quantify the diversity order and SNR gain, respectively. Analytical results show that the diversity order of the scheduled system is the product of spatial diversity (SD) and multiuser diversity (MUD). Thus, BER performance of the proposed system is improved as the number of users increases by MUD regardless of modulation types. Also, the SNR gain is getting worse as the number of received antennas at the primary system increases regardless of modulation types.
