Abstract: The antenna selection is a prominent technique that decreases the number of radio frequency (RF) links in a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) scheme. This paper analyses the outage probability (OP), capacity, as well as bit error rate (BER) of MIMO systems with antenna selection subject to independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Fisher-Snedecor F fading channels. Two types of systems, namely transmit antenna selection (TAS) connected with a maximal ratio combining (MRC) receiver as well as a joint transmit and receive antenna selection system, are evaluated. Analytical expressions are derived in terms of infinite series representation. The OP, BER and channel capacity are illustrated for different values of fading parameters as well as shadowing parameters. All the obtained statements are endorsed by Monte-Carlo simulation data.

Keywords: BER; bit error rate; Fisher-Snedecor F fading; TAS; transmit antenna selection; outage probability; MRC; maximal ratio combining.
