title = "Outage probability analysis for communication between spatial regions",
abstract = "This work develops a novel framework to analyze the outage probability of narrowband signal transmissions between arbitrary shaped spatial regions. Since the sampling of the spatial regions populated with antennas is a form of mode excitation, we consider communication between the regions in terms of orthonormal basis functions encoded in wave modes to describe the outgoing/incoming signals in the transmit/ receive region. Based on this framework, we first show that analogous to MIMO system, the mutual information (MI) over Rayleigh fading channel for narrowband communication between spatial regions is equivalent to a Gaussian random variable. We then derive an accurate closed-from expression of the outage probability using the definition of MI. In addition, we propose a descending transmit power allocation algorithm. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional equal power allocation scheme even at low SNR (signal to noise ratio) regime.",
