ABSTRACT: 

We investigate the performance of the multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems in the presence of a large but finite numbers of antennas at the transmitters and/or receivers. Considering the cases with and without hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback, we determine the minimum numbers of the transmit/receive antennas which are required to satisfy different outage probability constraints. Also, with and without interference cancelation, we derive the maximum achievable throughout of the MIMO broadcast channels using optimal scheduling.  Our results are obtained for different fading conditions and the effect of the power amplifiers efficiency/feedback error probability on the performance of the MIMO systems is analyzed. Then, we use some recent results on the achievable rates of finite block-length codes, to analyze the effect of the codewords lengths on the system performance. Moreover, we derive closed-form expressions for the asymptotic performance of the MIMO systems when the number of antennas increases. Our analytical and numerical results show that different quality-of-service requirements can be satisfied with relatively few transmit/receive antennas.
