Interference and Outage Probability Analysis for Massive MIMO Downlink with MF Precoding

Abstract
This letter analyzes the user-interference and outage probability for single-cell multi-user massive multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems with matched-filter (MF) precoding. Existing performance studies on massive MIMO systems have focused on the sum-rate by deriving the asymptotic deterministic equivalence. In this work, we treat the user-interference as random, and derive a tight closed-form approximation for the distribution of the interference power. This enables the analysis of the outage probability. The derived results are shown to have accurate match with the simulation.
