A framework for uplink capacity evaluation of cellular MIMO system

The uplink capacity evaluation of cellular multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is of great interest but not straight forward. This paper presents a framework to evaluate the uplink cellular capacity. In this framework, the effects of co-channel interference (CCI) as well as the effects of transmit power control (TPC) have been taken into consideration. The uplink capacities assuming various frequency reuse factors (FRF) and different TPC schemes are evaluated and demonstrated by simulation results.
