Abstract

We consider the sum-rate performance of multiple-input/single-output broadcast channels in which each user has a different average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) corresponding to their distance from the base station. Although there are already studies investigating the sum-rate growth under this channel assumption, their proofs are limited to the cases where the pathloss exponent is equal to one or two. However, the pathloss exponent is greater than two in realistic wireless environments. Therefore, by deriving the cumulative distribution function of the channel gain, which differs from the previous results, we can provide an asymptotic sum-rate and a general proof for the sum-rate growth regardless of the value of the pathloss exponent.
