I am studying the concept of computation the capacity. I have early asked about the difference between CSI unknown/ known to transmitter here.

In the book about Matlab implementation OFDM system, the equation for capacity with CSI is known to the transmitter is given. $$ C = \max \log_2 \det (I_{N_R} + \frac{E_x}{N_T \cdot N_0} H \cdot H^H) $$ I would like to rewrite the above equation for the case if the signal is precoded and have got :

$$ C = \max \log_2 \det (I_{N_R} + \frac{E_x}{N_T \cdot N_0} H \cdot V \cdot V^H \cdot H^H) $$

I have simulated it in Matlab and got : enter image description here

dashed line - with precoder ; line - wihout precoder

I see, as SNR increases, the precoder provides a larger improvement in capacity and also decrease the bit error rate (BER).

what conclusions can I make else?

  • $\begingroup$ Hmm..could you add some code snippets if they are relatively small? There are some weird things happening: (1) BER will be in the range 0-1, not 2-16, and (2) BER shouldn't be higher for a better SNR $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Engineer I have mistaken. In Figure Capacity vs SNR is given... $\endgroup$
