Abstract
The effect of co-channel interference (CCI) is considered in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems employing maximal ratio combining (MRC) under independent and identically distributed Rayleigh fading. Closed-form capacity and symbol error rate expressions are presented to evaluate the performance without any numerical integrations or statistical simulations. The analytical results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations and the good agreement is obtained.
