Abstract:
Based on imperfect channel state information with channel estimation error at the receiver and delayed feedback at the transmitter, a suboptimal power allocation (PA) scheme to minimize bit error rate (BER) under a power constraint is developed for beamforming multi-antenna systems with space-time block coding. The proposed scheme is based on a so-called compressed signal-to-noise ratio criterion, where a single compressed factor is utilized, and it can be used to generalize some existing schemes by setting the compressed factor to different forms. A closed-form compressed factor is derived to minimize the BER, and the resultant close-form expression of power allocation is attained. This closed-form expression is computational efficient and can obtain the BER performance close to the existing optimal approach which requires numerical search. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can provide BER lower than the equal power allocation scheme. However, due to the impact of both estimation error and delayed feedback, it has performance degradation when compared to the PA scheme with estimation error or delayed feedback only.
