Spatial multiplexing with MMSE receivers: Single-stream optimality in ad hoc networks
arXiv:1003.3056
Abstract
The performance of spatial multiplexing systems with linear minimum-mean-squared-error receivers is investigated in ad hoc networks. It is shown that single-stream transmission is preferable over multi-stream transmission, due to the weaker interference powers from the strongest interferers remaining after interference-cancelation. This result is obtained by new exact closed-form expressions we derive for the outage probability and transmission capacity.
