Abstract :
In previous works, we studied the effect of imperfect channel knowledge at the receiver on the ergodic capacity of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channels. In particular, we developed a lower bound on the mutual information and a lower bound on the ergodic capacity as a function of the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB). In this work, our aim is to find similar results with the outage capacity. Actually, we find a lower bound on the outage capacity. We also compare the effect of different MIMO channel estimation methods on the outage capacity
