Abstract
Cochannel interference is one of the inevitable deleterious components in designing and analyzing of a wireless network. The use of multiple antennas at both transmitting and receiving nodes is a promising technique to suppress and/or alleviate the effect of cochannel interference on capacity. In this paper, we assess the effects of both antenna correlation and cochannel interference on the ergodic capacity of multiple-input multiple-output channels with covariance feedback. In particular, we consider a general family of spatial fading correlation model-called unitary-independent-unitary -which encompasses most of zero-mean channels with arbitrary fading profiles including the popular separable correlation channel models. We derive the average minimum mean-square error and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio of the parallel spatial streams using Berezin’s supermathematics. We then put forth the structure of optimal input covariance matrix maximizing the mutual information connected with the necessary and sufficient conditions as a generalization of the noise-limited case, which is tested by a simple iterative algorithm. Together with the powerful supermathematical framework, the result in the paper enables us to quantify the multiuser MIMO interference effects on the capacity in terms of spatial correlation and interference power heterogeneity.
