Abstract: Channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter can be used toadapt transmission rate or antenna gains to time-varying fadingchannels in multi-antenna systems. However, the CSI that is fed backwill get outdated if the channel is changing rapidly. We havedeveloped a rate-adaptive M-QAM technique equipped with space-timeblock coding for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems andimperfect signal to noise ratio (SNR) feedback as opposed to the morecomplex full channel feedback in [6]. Based on theclosed-form expressions for the average BER and average throughputderived in [6], we deriveherein an optimal switching thresholds which maximize the averagethroughput under average BER constraint for MIMO fadingchannels. Our numerical results illustrate the immunity of our optimalthresholds to error due to time-delayed feedback.
