Abstract
This paper solves the problem of finding a closed-form expression for the average information-theoretic capacity of wireless systems with an arbitrary number of transmitter and receiver antennas. It is assumed that only the receivers have (perfect) knowledge of the channel state and that fading correlation is receiver-sided. The main purpose of the paper is accomplished by introducing a few very simple concepts and performing some clear-cut algebraic manipulations, making the presentation virtually self-contained. The results show a substantial capacity reduction in the presence of correlation between receiver antennas. It is also shown that employing linear arrays with nonuniform spacings may improve the system capacity, and a simple technique to exploit this possibility is presented. Isotropic and nonisotropic propagation scenarios are studied.
