Abstract

A random matrix model is introduced that probabilistically describes the multi-path propagation between a transmitting and receiving antenna array with a limited number of scatterers for indoor environments. The model allows to analytically calculate signal-to-interference and noise ratios and channel capacities for communication systems that apply, similar to the BLAST (Foschini 1996) proposal, antenna arrays at both ends of the wireless link to boost spectral efficiency
