Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the outage probability for the mutual information of the sum rate for the MIMO (multiple input multiple output) MAC (multiple access channel) channel. We derive exact results for the "two users" case with two antennas and a general result for K users with an arbitrary number of antennas and different signal-to-noise ratios. As a secondary result, we derive an exact expression for the single user outage probability for the MIMO channel with two antennas.
