Abstract
Recently, a combined transmitter antenna selection/receiver-maximal-ratio-combining (TAS/MRC) scheme has been proposed to reduce the complexity of system and retain the diversity advantage. In this paper, we investigate the performance of the TAS/MRC scheme over correlated Nakagami fading channels. The characteristics function method is used to derive an exact bit-error rate expression, in which only very simple functions are included. Two special cases are discussed. The theoretical findings are supported by computer simulations.
