Abstract

This paper reports on the capacity of a MIMO system operating in a multi-access scenario. The investigations take into account co-channel interference as well as spatial correlation and mutual coupling (MC) present in array antennas. A closed-form expression for the upper bound of the mutual information is presented. An optimal signal transmission scheme is proposed to maximize the MIMO capacity. The presented simulation results report on the effect of interference and mutual coupling for the cases of non-optimized and optimized signal transmission schemes. Also shown is performance comparison between the cases of peer-to-peer single user and multi-access MIMO system.
