Mutual information statistics for dual MIMO systems in correlated Rayleigh fading

In this letter, we derive very simple and exact expressions for the mutual information (MI) distributions under isotropic Gaussian input of dual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, where the minimum number of antennas at either side of the wireless link is two, in a semicorrelated Rayleigh fading environment with correlation at the dual-antenna side only. Furthermore, exact closed-form expressions for the MI moments (mean, variance), and other higher order statistics, such as the skewness and kurtosis, are derived. The proposed methodology for evaluating the MI statistics, is easily extendable to other multielement antenna settings such as single-input multiple-output (SIMO), multiple-input single-output (MISO) and dual MIMO systems for both uncorrelated and semicorrelated Rayleigh fading, where correlation can be assumed at the side with the largest number of antennas
