Analysis of Outage Capacity in Nakagami Fading Channels

The outage capacity in Nakagami-m fading channel with no channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter and partial CSI at the receiver was considered in this paper. Analytic expressions for the upper and lower bounds of the outage capacity were obtained as a function of the channel estimation error at the receiver and the channel parameter. Simulation results show that the increment of channel estimation error degrades the upper and lower bounds of outage capacity. But the channel parameter has different effect on upper and lower bounds of outage capacity
