Correction to "Antenna selection for multiple-antenna transmission systems: performance analysis and code construction"

In the above-named work (ibid., vol. 49, no. 10, pp. 2669-2681, Oct. 2003) the authors developed performance bounds for multiple antenna systems that use receive antenna selection and proved results regarding the diversity and coding gains in such systems. In reference to above correspondence, the probability density function given by eq. (30) should not include the scaling factor of 1/L. This is shown via a short derivation. As a result, the factor 1/L should be omitted from the pairwise error probability expressions, and (32), (34), (35), and (38)-(41) are corrected herein. The main results regarding the diversity gain of the system are not effected by the absence of this scaling factor, while the ones on the coding gain should be modified accordingly.
