The asymptotic theoretic capacity of a MIMO system is derived when considering Rice distribution entries. Although the Rice distribution is well known to enhance the capacity performance with respect to the Rayleigh distribution in the SISO case, this assumption is seriously put into doubt in the MIMO case. Indeed, the conditions under which line of sight improves or not the capacity are still not well understood. This contribution determines the parameters of interest for analyzing Rice MIMO models and gives an explicit theoretic answer to the previous question.
