With an uninformed transmitter, we consider the optimal power allocation that causes the fastest convergence to zero of the fraction of channels whose mutual information is less than any given rate as the transmitter channel knowledge converges to zero.

For the two-user orthogonally multiplexed MIMO broadcast channels, the achievable rate regions, with and without transmitter channel knowledge, evolve from a triangular region at low SNR to a rectangular region at high SNR. We also investigate the maximum sum rate for these regions and derive the associated power allocations at low and high SNR.
