Ergodic channel capacity of the spatial correlated rayleigh MlMO channel CLC number TN911
Document A
Abstract The theoretical capacity of the spatial correlated Rayleigh multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel is an important issue in MIMO technology. In this article, an ergodic channel capacity formula of the spatial correlated rayleigh MlMO channel is provided, which is deduced when two antennas exist at either the transmitter or the receiver. The multi-dimensional least-squares fit algorithm is employed to narrow the difference between the theoretical formula capacity and the practical capacity. Simulation results show that the theoretical capacity approaches the practical one closely.

Keywords MIMO, rayleigh fading channel, Shannon capacity
The main contribution of this article is that it provides a close-form formula of the ergodic channel capacity for the spatial correlated rayleigh MIMO channel, which has two antennas at either the transmitter or the receiver. The proposed formula can be used for MIMO theoretical analysis and engineering application conveniently. Simulations show that the capacity calculated by the formula and the capacity obtained by monte carlo simulation coincide perfectly. This article is organized as follows: Section 2 introduces the Kronecker spatial correlated MIMO channel model. Sections 3 and 4 provide the capacity formula. Section 5 provides the simulation results. Finally, Section 6 concludes the article.

The MIMO system is considered as a key technology owing to the considerable capacity or spectrum efficiency [I-31. Channel capacity is an important issue in the MIMO system. A great deal of study has been camed out in this filed, e.g. the theoretical capacity of the uncorrelated rayleigh MIMO channel has been studied sufficiently [4-71. However, in the MIMO system, when the antennas are not separated sufficiently and/or there is lack of scattering, spatial correlation will exist. The research of the correlated MIMO channel capacity has traditionally been considered as a difficult problem [8-101. Semi-correlated channel capacity has been studied in Ref. [9]. The distribution of the correlated channel capacity has been discussed in Ref. [ll], and some capacity bounds of the correlated channel have been provided in Ref. [12]. However, a close-form formula of the correlated MIMO capacity has not been proposed.

Spatlal comlated channel model We consider that the MIMO system has N, transmitting
antennas and N, receiving antennas, and the channel matrix is H. The Kronecker spatial correlated MIMO channel can be modeled as [ 10- 131: y = Hs + n = Rf/2H,R:/2s+ n (1) where [-]I/*represents the matrix square root; H w is a N , x N, complex matrix, whose elements are independently identically distributed (i.i.d.) complex Gaussian random variables with zero mean and unit variance; and x , y , and n represent the transmitting, the receiving, and the noise vector, respectively. We assume that the spatial correlation at the transmitter is independent of the correlation at the receiver. R, is M , x M , transmitting correlation matrix and R, is M , x M ,receiving correlation matrix. R, , R, are written as:

When the channel information is not available at the transmitter, and equal-power allocation is adopted, the MIMO channel capacity in Sect. 2 can be written as [6]: C = log,(det(ZN,+ pHH ')) = log,(det(ZN,+ pH 'H )) (2 ) where [ .IHdenotes the matrix conjugate transposition; ZNr is the N , x N , identity matrix; det(0) is the matrix determinant; and p is the average signal noise ratio (SNR). We consider that the MIMO system has 2 antennas at either the transmitting or the receiving side. Without lose of generality, we assume H, R, are 2 x N , , 2 x 2 matrices,
