INTRODUCTION

The recent paper by Zheng and Kaiser [1] derived various expressions for the channel capacity of multiantenna systems with the Nakagami fading channel. Most of these are expressed in terms of the integral J(k, β) =

see, for example, [1, equation (14)]. The paper provided a recurrence relation (see [1, equation (18)]) for calculating (1). Here, we show that one can derive explicit expressions for (1) in terms of well-known functions.

respectively, where ( f )k = f ( f +1) · · · ( f +k − 1) denotes the ascending factorial. If k = 2, then by [2, equation (2.6.23.5)] one can reduce (2) to J(2, β) = − exp(β)Ei(−β),

where Ei(·) denotes the exponential integral defined by 2.

EXPLICIT EXPRESSIONS FOR (1)

We calculate (1) by direct application of certain formulas in [2]. For k > 0, application of [2, equation (2.6.23.4)] yields J(k, β) =

DISCUSSION

We expect that the expression given by (2) and its particular cases could be useful with respect to channel capacity modeling
