K. Mallik This paper investigates the effects of channel estimation error at the receiver on the achievable rate of distributed space-time block coded transmission. We consider that multiple transmitters cooperate to send the signal to the receiver and derive lower and upper bounds on the mutual information of distributed space-time block codes D-STBCs when the channel gains and channel estimation error variances pertaining to different transmitter-receiver links are unequal. Then assessing the gap between these two bounds we provide a limiting value that upper bounds the latter at any input transmit powers and also show that the gap is minimum if the receiver can estimate the channels of different transmitters with the same accuracy. We further investigate positioning the receiving node such that the mutual information bounds of D-STBCs and their robustness to the variations of the subchannel gains are maximum as long as the summation of these gains is constant. Furthermore we derive the optimum power transmission strategy to achieve the outage capacity lower bound of D-STBCs under arbitrary numbers of transmit and receive antennas and provide closed-form expressions for this capacity metric. Numerical simulations are conducted to corroborate our analysis and quantify the effects of imperfect channel estimation. Copyright 2008 L. Musavian and S. Aissa.
