Outage probability and ergodic capacity for MIMO-MRT systems under co-channel interference and imperfect CSI

In this paper, we investigate the performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems deploying maximum ratio transmission (MRT). Our analysis takes into account not only imperfect channel estimation at the receiver and feedback delay at the transmitter, but also includes co-channel interference (CCI). In particular, we first derive the statistical properties of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). Next, we obtain a closed-form expression for outage probability and an approximation for capacity. Finally, we show the consistency between analytical results and Monte-Carlo simulations. Our results indicate that the system performance is improved considerably in proportion to the number of transceiver antennas. Conversely, the outage probability increases, and the capacity decreases significantly with the severity of channel estimation error, feedback delay, and CCIs.
