  • Abstract
    A stronger and general sufficient condition for the asymptotic normality of MIMO channel eigenvalues and its capacity is given. Physical interpretation of this condition is discussed. Simple alternative conditions, which do not require eigenvalue decomposition, are proposed. It is demonstrated that some popular correlation matrix models satisfy these conditions. In many cases, the convergence to the asymptotic normality is at least as 1/radic(nt), where nt is the number of Tx antennas.
