Scheduling Gain in Spatial Diversity Systems: Asymptotic Analysis

In this paper, further in-depth asymptotic analysis on the interaction between spatial diversity and multiuser diversity in wireless networks is given, following our recent work [Zhou and Dai, ICC06] Rigorous proofs and necessarily stronger results in terms ot convergence are provided for some intuitions in this area. Equally important, explicit expressions of scheduling gain and average system capacity in various circumstances that reveal interesting inter-connections among key system parameters are given. Our results are general enough to cover many practical scenarios of interest
