The outage probability of maximal ratio combining (MRC) in the presence of equi-power cochannel interference (CCI) in correlated Rayleigh fading is derived. Under the assumption that the branch gains of the desired user signal and interfering signals have the same correlation matrix, this analysis allows an arbitrary number of cochannel interfering users and an arbitrary number of receiver antennas.
