Abstract
The performance of multiple-input-multiple-output systems with optimum combining (OC) is studied in a Rayleigh fading environment with arbitrary-power cochannel interference and thermal noise. Based on the joint eigenvalue distributions of quadratic functions of complex Gaussian matrices, a closed-form expression for the exact distribution of the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) is derived. A closed-form expression for the exact moment-generating function (MGF) of the output SINR of single-input-multiple-output (SIMO) systems is also derived. From the exact MGF, the moments of the output SINR and the symbol error rate of various M-ary modulation schemes are obtained. We verify the accuracy of our analytical results with numerical examples. The new analytical framework provides a simple and accurate way to assess the effects of equal- and unequal-power cochannel interferers and thermal noise on the performance of OC.
