Abstract :
In a cellular system, when multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques are employed, the interference scenario is quite complicated. In this paper, considering realistic propagation conditions including both path loss and Rayleigh fading, and considering the existence of unequal-power interferers, we analyze the statistical distributions of the post-processing SIRs for downlink space-time block coding (STBC) transmission with different co-channel MIMO interferers. Simulation results verify the validity of the theoretical analyses.
