Performance of Antenna Selection for MIMO-OFDM Systems Based on Measured Indoor Correlated Frequency Selective Channels

This paper presents and compares antenna selection strategies for frequency selective MIMO-OFDM channels. Real channels are measured, and used to evaluate performance. Results for simulated TGn channel models are also presented. We show that the capacity gain predicted from the simulated channels, is significantly lower than can be achieved over real channels. This supports the use of antenna selection in practical MIMO-OFDM systems. Keywords-antenna selection; channel capacity; frequency selective; MIMO measurement; MIMO-OFDM;
