Abstract :
Shadow fading is generally not explicitly studied for MIMO systems. In this paper, through asymptotic large-system analysis, it is shown that shadow fading, while significantly limits the channel outage capacity as expected, actually enhances the multiuser scheduling gain, which is meaningful and obtainable for delay-tolerant applications.
