Diversity Gain Region for MIMO Fading Multiple Access Channels

In this work, we introduce the notion of the diversity gain region for a multi-user channel. This region specifies the set of diversity-gain vectors that are simultaneously achievable by all users in a multi-user channel. This is done by associating different probabilities of error for different users, contrary to the traditional approach where a single probability of system error is considered. We derive an inner bound (achievable region) and an outer bound for the diversity gain region of a MIMO fading multiple access channel.
