Matrix Integral Approach to MIMO Mutual Information Statistics in High-SNR Regime？

In this work, an analytical framework for deriving the exact moments of multiple-input- multiple-output (MIMO) mutual information in the high-signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime is proposed. The idea is to make efficient use of the matrix-variate densities of channel matrices instead of the eigenvalue densities as in the literature. The framework is applied to the study of the emerging models of MIMO Rayleigh product channels and Jacobi MIMO channels, which include several well-known channels models as special cases. The corresponding exact moments of any order for the high-SNR mutual information are derived. The explicit moment expressions are utilized to construct simple yet accurate approximations to the outage probability. Despite the high-SNR nature, simulation shows usefulness of the approximations with finite SNR values in the scenario of low outage probability relevant to MIMO communications. View Full-Tex
