On throughput-reliability tradeoff analysis of general fading channels

The throughput-reliability tradeoff (TRT) for MIMO and co-operative systems are first proposed and studied under Rayleigh fading assumptions. While the interplay among signal-to-noise ratio, transmission rate and outage/error probability for MIMO and co-operative channels have been explored, those corresponding to many practical scenarios are still wide open. In this work, we deal with the TRT analysis of MIMO systems with generic distribution for channel coefficients that includes many known models as special cases.
