Abstract
This paper proposes a new switched MIMO system where the MIMO includes both diversity-based MIMO and spatial multiplexing MIMO (SM-MIMO). The proposed scheme is a closed-loop system where the feedback bits are sent back to the transmitter to indicate the channel quality. The switching operation is employed among groups of a certain number of transmit antennas. For diversity-based MIMO systems, the switching operation aims to improve the link performance, while the goal of the switching for the SM-MIMO systems is to increase the data rate. The authors analyze and optimize the proposed systems and show that there is considerable benefit in terms of performance and practical use.
