Abstract

This paper investigates the capacity of multiuser MIMO-MRC systems in spatially correlated environments. We present new capacity approximations which are shown to be accurate. The approximations are based on new simple expansions which we derive for the maximum eigenvalue of correlated Wishart matrices. We show that for a large number of users there is a capacity offset due to correlation. Through this, we show that correlation is beneficial for capacity. Our results are confirmed through comparison with Monte-Carlo simulations.
