Outage performance of MIMO MRC systems with unequal-power co-channel interference

In this letter, we investigate the outage performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) maximal ratio combining (MRC) systems with unequal-power co-channel interference (CCI). Closed-form expression for the outage probability is presented. Our results are applicable to the MIMO MRC systems with arbitrary numbers of transmit and receive antennas.
