On the MIMO Channel Capacity for the Nakagami-m Channel

This paper presents the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel capacity over the Nakagami-m fading channel. The joint eigenvalue density function of W = HH' where H is the channel matrix, is derived in closed form for H (2 times 2) and any integer values of m, as well as for H (2 times 3) with to = 2 and to = 3. The marginal eigenvalue distribution of W is also derived in a closed-form expression. All the results are validated by numerical Monte Carlo simulations and are in excellent agreement.
