On the Exact Distribution of Mutual Information of Two-User MIMO MAC Based on Quotient Distribution of Wishart Matrices

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, Apr 2017

We propose an exact calculation of the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of mutual information (MI) for a two-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiple access channel (MAC) network over block Rayleigh fading channels. This scenario can be found in the uplink channel of MIMO non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system, a promising multiple access technique for 5G networks. So far, the PDF and CDF have been numerically evaluated since MI depends on the quotient of two Wishart matrices, and no closed form for this quotient was available. We derive exact results for the PDF and CDF of extreme (the smallest/the largest) eigenvalues. Based on the results of quotient ensemble, the exact calculation for PDF and CDF of mutual information is presented via Laplace transform approach and by direct integration of joint PDF of quotient ensemble’s eigenvalues. Furthermore, our derivations also provide the parameters to apply the Gaussian approximation method, which is comparatively easier to implement. We show that approximation matches the exact results remarkably well for outage probability, i.e., CDF, above 10%. However, the approximation could also be used for 1% outage probability with a relatively small error. We apply the derived expressions to investigate the effects of adding antennas in the receiver and its ability to decode the weak user signal. By supposing no channel knowledge at transmitters and successive decoding at receiver, the capacity of the weak user increases and its outage probability decreases with the increment of extra antennas at the receiver end.

MIMO setup provides several benefits such as higher received power via beamforming, higher channel capacity via spatial multiplexing without increasing bandwidth or transmission power, and improved transmission robustness via diversity coding [1]. Current cellular systems such as 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) are using MIMO, and the next generation system such as 5G considers the deployment terminal with dozens of antennas, the so-called massive MIMO. A new scheme called non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been considered as a potential solution to improve the system capacity of future wireless systems due to its superior spectral efficiency [2, 3]. The basic principle of NOMA is to serve multiple users by power domain multiplexing at transmitter and successive interference cancellation (SIC) at receiver, which can achieve the capacity region of the downlink addictive white Gaussian noise channel and significantly outperform the orthogonal multiple access (OMA) schemes [3].

To the best of our knowledge, no exact expressions were derived before, under the following assumptions: channel state information at receiver (CSIR), block Rayleigh fading channel, and successive decoding [4]. The main difficulty to derive exact expressions for this scenario is that the mutual information is a random variable that depends on the quotient of two Wishart matrices [5]. The recent exact analysis of quotient ensemble involving Wishart matrices led to the availability of the corresponding joint probability density function (JPDF) of the eigenvalues [6]. This opened the possibility to describe, in an exact manner, the behavior of the mutual information in a scenario such as MIMO NOMA uplink. Therefore, we derive the exact expressions related to the mutual information that allows, for example, the analysis of the impact of adding more antennas at the base station on the performance of network.
