Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have an advantage of spectral efficiency compared to single-input single-output systems, which means that the MIMO systems have significantly higher data throughput. The V-BLAST (Vertical Bell Laboratories Layered Space Time) scheme is a popular transceiver structure which has relatively good performance. In the V-BLAST scheme, ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC) technique was proposed as a possible efficient detection method in terms of performance and complexity. However, MIMO systems suffer from high complexity and implementation cost. As a practical solution, a technique called antenna selection has been introduced. Since the existing literature considered only the capacity-based selection, we develop an optimal selection method for V-BLAST scheme using OSIC detection with respect to error rate performance in this article. Its complexity is shown to be proportional to the fourth power of the number of transmit antennas. To reduce the complexity without significant performance degradation compared to the optimal selection method, a near-optimal selection method is also proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed selection method is very close to the performance of optimal selection.
