Summary: 
Spatial multiplexing (SM) offers a linear increase in transmission rate without bandwidth expansion or power increase. In SM systems, the LMMSE receiver establishes a good tradeoff between the complexity and performance. The performance of the LMMSE receiver would be degraded by MIMO channel estimation errors. This letter focus on obtaining the asymptotic convergence of output interference power and SIR performance for the LMMSE receiver with channel uncertainty. Exactly matched simulation results verify the validity of analysis in the large-system assumption. Furthermore, we find that the analytical results are also valid in the sense of average results for limited-scale system in spite of the asymptotic assumption used in derivation.
