Ergodic Channel Capacity of MIMO Transmission in Spatial Correlated-Fading

Abstract

In this article the MGF (moment generating function) obtained to determine the ergodic (average) channel capacity, and which is by passing the difficulty in calculating the pdf (probability density function) of SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) traditionally. Some numerical results are offered for validating the accuracy the theoretical deriver formulas. Furthermore, many plots work out from combination with different number of transmitter and receiver for comparison. It is valuable to note that the more the antenna numbers the larger channel capacity is not acceptable when the correlation coefficient is taken into account the system evaluation of a MIMO system.
