Based on the imperfect CSI, the variable switching threshold （VST） is derived by utilizing the maximum a posteriori method.

By the switching thresholds, the spectrum efficiency （SE） and average BER of the system are respectively derived, and resulting closed- form expressions are attained. With these expressions, the system performance can be effectively evaluated. Simulation results show that the derived theoretical SE and BER can match the simulations well. Moreover, the AM with the presented FST has higher SE than that with the conventional one, and the AM with VST can tolerate the large estimation error while maintaining the target BER.展开更多
