Abstract

In this paper, to reduce uplink feedback information for the beam weight and simultaneously maintaining the performance, we propose a MIMO-OFDM (Multi Input Multi Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system based on beamforming with antenna selection. In the proposed system, to perform the beamforming with more useful transmit antennas, the optimal combination of transmit antennas with maximum MRT (Maximum Ratio Transmission) beamforming gain is selected. Simulation results reveal that the proposed MIMO-OFDM system adopting the beamforming with antenna selection can reduce the feedback information for the beam weights as compared to the system using all the transmit antennas without serious degradation of system performance.
