Thesis title: Transmit Antenna Selection in Underlay Spectrum Sharing: Role
of Power Adaptation, Interference Constraint, and Channel State Information
In this thesis, we study the role of power adaptation, interference constraint,
and channel state information on the optimal antenna selection at an underlay
secondary transmitter.
1. With binary on-off power adaptation:
• We first developed a novel and symbol error probability optimal antenna selection rule in the presence of a single primary receiver.
• We then extended it to the multiple primary receivers scenario with
partial channel state information.
2. With continuous power adaptation:
• We first developed a new optimal joint antenna selection and power
adaptation rule with instantaneous channel information.
• We then developed an optimal antenna selection rule with statistical
channel information. Here, we showed that the optimal antenna to
select is independent of the interference constraint.
In all the above cases, we achieved a one to two orders of magnitude reduction in the symbol error probability over existing ad hoc selection algorithms.
