Summary :

In this paper, the diversity multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) analysis of the non-coherent block-fading multiple antenna channel which uses a training-based channel estimation scheme at asymptotically high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) is extended to finite SNRs. This extension is performed for a single input multiple output (SIMO) maximal ratio combining (MRC) scheme. This analysis at finite SNRs is more useful because in practice, the training schemes operate at finite SNRs and their impact on DMT is more relevant at such SNRs. We show the non-applicability of the asymptotically high SNR relation, given by Zheng, to finite SNRs. We also show the equivalence of two existing training-based channel estimation schemes for any SIMO system, and using one of these, we compute the achievable finite-SNR DMT of the non-coherent SIMO-MRC scheme for two modes of the training scheme. We analyze the achievable finite-SNR DMT for different durations of training, modes of the training scheme, and SNRs. We show that the impact of the mode of the training scheme on finite-SNR DMT decreases as SNR increases. We also show that at asymptotically high SNRs, the achievable DMT in both modes of the SIMO-MRC scheme is equal to that of the non-coherent SIMO channel, as derived by Zheng.
