Summary :

This paper considers the use of an antenna selection mechanism to reduce the cost of multiple analog transmit/receive chains in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. With the optimal antenna selection scheme, radio-frequency chains can optimally connect with the best subset of transmitter and/or receiver antennas. However, the optimal antenna selection algorithm requires an exhaustive search of all possible combinations to find the optimum subset at the transmitter and/or receiver, thus resulting in high complexity. In order to reduce the computational load while still maximizing channel capacity, we introduce the simulated annealing (SA) method, an effective algorithm that solves various combinatorial optimization problems, to search the optimal subset. The simulation results show that the performance of the proposed SA method provides almost the same channel capacity as that of the optimal exhaustive search algorithm while maintaining low complexity.
