Abstract

This contribution provides a fresh look at the asymptotic (in terms of number of antennas) design of multiple-antenna wireless systems, with the goal of giving useful insights on the deployment of future MIMO systems. For the i.i.d. Gaussian and double-directional models, we provide guidelines in terms of the repartition of the antennas between the transmitter and the receiver, and study the influence of array geometry on the ergodic mutual information per antenna. Furthermore, we compare the LOS and NLOS situations, and evaluate the relative importance of the LOS component and path loss in Ricean fading, as well as in the low-rank Ricean component case.
