MIMO communication capacity using infinite dimension random matrix eigenvalue distributions

Wireless communication using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems enables increased spectral efficiency for a given total transmit power. MIMO capacity is a strong function of the singular value distribution of the channel matrix, the receive antenna to transmit antenna transfer matrix. In this paper the capacity is calculated using an asymptotic large random matrix approach. Bounds on the maximum spectral efficiency of MIMO systems in which both transmitter and receiver know the channel (channel estimate feedback), are compared with MIMO systems in which only the receiver knows the channel. In addition, MIMO performance in the presence of cooperative and uncooperative interfering MIMO systems is presented.
