Dominant covering

We consider communications and network systems whose properties are characterized by the gaps of the leading eigenvalues of H A A for some matrix A . We show that a sufficient and necessary condition for a large eigen-gap is that A is a “hub” matrix in the sense that it has dominant columns. We describe an application of this dominant covering theory in multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems.
