In the Alamouti-coded multiple-input multiple-output relay systems, we consider selecting two transmit antennas from all available antennas, at the source and relay respectively, to maximize received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the destination. Since the optimal antenna selection rule is intracta...
