Closed-form formulas for ergodic capacity of MIMO Rayleigh fading channels

چکیده
We present a new closed-form formula for the ergodic capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channels. Assuming independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh flat-fading between antenna pairs and equal power allocation to each of the transmit antennas, the channel capacity is expressed in closed form as finite sums of the exponential integrals which are the special cases of the complementary incomplete gamma function. Using the well-known asymptotic behavior of the MIMO capacity, we also give a simple approximate expression for the channel capacity. Numerical results show that the approximation is quite accurate for the entire range of average signal-to-noise ratios.

Tight lower bounds on the ergodic capacity of Rayleigh fading MIMO channels
In this paper, we consider Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels assuming that the channel is unknown at the transmitter and perfectly known at the receiver. Using results from multivariate statistics, we derive a tight closed-form lower-bound for the ergodic capacity of such channels at any signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Moreover, we provide an accurate closed-form analy...
متن کاملCapacity of multiple-antenna fading channels: spatial fading correlation, double scattering, and keyhole
The capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channels is limited by both the spatial fading correlation and rank deficiency of the channel. While spatial fading correlation reduces the diversity gains, rank deficiency due to double scattering or keyhole effects decreases the spatial multiplexing gains of multiple-antenna channels. In this paper, taking into account realistic p...

We present a novel mathematical approach that for the first time allows for calculating the moment generating function of mutual information of Rayleigh fading MIMO channels with arbitrary fading correlation at transmitter and receiver. Specifically, we make use of certain hypergeometric functions of matrix argument, which are frequently used in multivariate statistics. This allows for a concis...

متن کاملErgodic Capacity, Capacity Distribution and Outage Capacity of MIMO Time-Varying and Frequency-Selective Rayleigh Fading Channels
The ergodic capacity, capacity distribution and outage capacity are investigated for MIMO wireless systems under time-varying and frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. Our theoretical results and Monte-Carlo simulations show that: (1) if the frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel impulse response has no inter-tap correlations, then its ergodic capacity is the same as that of the fr...
