Abstract
Tight analytical bounds on the coded bit error rate are derived for a MIMO Bit-Interleaved Coded Modulation (BICM) system with a Zero Forcing receiver. We show that a minimal expurgated bound exists when using Gray-labelled constellations. We also show that with Nt transmit and Nr receive antennas, the diversity order is Nr - Nt + 1 multiplied by the free distance of the code. For the Maximum Likelihood receiver, we demonstrate that expurgation does not lead to a tight bound. The analysis provides insight into the relative performance of the MIMO-BICM ZF and ML receivers.
