Proceedings of 2005 International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing and Communication Systems the Impact of Shadow Fading on the Outage Capacity and Multiuser Scheduling Gain of Mimo Systems

Shadow fading is generally not explicitly studied for MIMO systems. In this paper, through asymptotic large-system analysis, it is shown that shadow fading, while significantly limits the channel outage capacity as expected, actually enhances the multiuser scheduling gain, which is meaningful and obtainable for delay-tolerant applications.
