This paper studies receiver design in single-input multiple-output (SIMO) slow fading channels with imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the receiver only. Using generalized mutual information (GMI) as achievable rate, we study the outage behavior when the receiver employs certain generalized form of the nearest neighbor decoding rule. Our study reveals that linearly shrinking the linear minimum meansquared error (LMMSE) estimate of the CSI reduces the outage probability when the number of receive antennas is finite. Only in the asymptotic regime where the number of receive antennas grows without bound, the LMMSE estimate of the CSI minimizes the outage probability. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed linear shrinkage receiver achieves evident outage probability reduction.
