Adaptive Antenna Selection at Mobile Stations for SDMA in WiMAX Networks

The IEEE 802.16/WiMAX standards has fully embraced multi-antenna technology and can, thus, deliver robust performance and high transmission rates. Nevertheless, due to its inherent cost concerns, a WiMAX Mobile Station MS should preferably contain fewer Radio Frequency RF chains than antenna elements. Thus, antenna selection, wherein a subset of antennas...
