MMSE Bound for MIMO Channel (2111.12819v1)

Abstract: Detailed derivations of two bounds of the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) of complex-valued multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are proposed for performance evaluation. Particularly, the lower bound is derived based on a genie-aided MMSE estimator, whereas the upper bound is derived based on a maximum-likelihood (ML) estimator. Using the famous relationship between the mutual information (MI) and MMSE, two bounds for the MI are also derived, based on which we discuss the asymptotic behaviours of the average MI in the high-signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. Theoretical analyses suggest that the average MI will converge its maximum as the SNR increases and the diversity order is the same as receive antenna number.
