Abstract

The performance of Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) with co-channel MIMO interference is investigated. For an interference-limited environment, the closed-formexpressions for the probability density functions of the signalto-interference ratio are derived and applied to analyze the outage probability with three typical types of co-channel MIMO interferers: STBC, open-loop spatial multiplexing and closed-loop spatial multiplexing. Both theoretical analyses and simulation results show that the performance of STBC is independent of the MIMO modes used in the interfering links.
