Closed-form Capacity Analysis for MIMO Rayleigh Channels

Abstract

In this letter, we derive a tight closed form formula for an ergodic rapacity of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) for the application of wireless communications. The derived expression is a simple close-form formula to determine the ergodic capacity of MIMO systems. Assuming the channels are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh flat-fading between antenna pairs, the ergodic capacity can be expressed in a closed form as the finite sum of exponential integrals.
