Abstract: | This article investigates a key information‐theoretic performance metric in multiple‐antenna wireless communications, the so‐called outage probability. The article is partly a review, with the methodology based mainly on 10], while also presenting some new results. The outage probability may be expressed in terms of a moment generating function, which involves a Hankel determinant generated from a perturbed Laguerre weight. For this Hankel determinant, we present two separate integral representations, both involving solutions to certain non‐linear differential equations. In the second case, this is identified with a particular σ‐form of Painlevé V. As an alternative to the Painlevé V, we show that this second integral representation may also be expressed in terms of a non‐linear second order difference equation.
