On the asymptotic performance of MIMO correlated Rician channels

In this paper we investigate the performance of block-fading multiple input multiple output (MIMO) Rician correlated channels in the case where the number of transmit and receive antennas converge to infinity at the same rate. In this context we show that the expressions of classical performance indices such as the average mutual information or the output SINR of MMSE receivers converge to deterministic expressions. The analysis determines the parameter of interest and gives insight of the effect of the channel distribution on the performance metrics.
