The most straightforward approximation is the standard Gaussian approximation, where the MAI is approximated by a Gaussian random variable. This approximation is simple, however it is not accurate in general. In situations where the number of users is not large, the Gaussian approximation is not appropriate. In-depth analysis of must be applied. The Holtzman?s improved Gaussian approximation provides a better approximation to the MAI term. The approximation conditions the interference term on the operation condition of each user.
