In this paper, we look at the performance of noise-limited MIMO wireless systems and compare analytically line-of-sight (LOS) and nonLOS dominated environments on coverage and cell capacity. Through a few key examples, we show that neither a LOS scenario or a NLOS scenario always provides the best performance as it appears the most favorable propagation scenario heavily depends on the chosen metric and type of system.
