A Markov-Kronecker model for analysis of closed-loop MIMO systems

Closed-loop MIMO systems have gained much interest recently due to their ability in improving performance. Although many spatial-temporal MIMO channel models have been proposed, system limitations are not considered and the effects of a time varying channel on MIMO systems with a realistic feedback delay are also not available in an analytically tractable form. In this letter, we propose a composite model where both propagation and system factors are considered thus providing a simple and analytically tractable model for the performance evaluation and design of closed-loop MIMO systems
