ZF (zero-forcing) and RZF (regularized zero-forcing) in a MIMO system MF (matched filter) ZF and RZF in MIMO relay system Future work

We consider a forward link of a multiuser system including an access point with M transmit antennas and K users, each with one receive antenna.

In a ZF precoding,

Transmitted signal

power

Which has an infinite expectation.

The largest eigenvalue of has the distribution

So any approach to improve channel inversion must seek to reduce the effect of the largest eigenvalue.

Regularize the channel inversion

In RZF precoding,

suppose

The signal received at the k-th user:

The unnormalized desired signal:

Transmite power:

Power of total received signal:

Power of desired signal:

Large K approximation:

CSI error due to MF Quantization and delay

Additional error at the destination. We call it CEG-noise (CSI-error-generated noise)

QRD (QR decomposition)

QR decompose the effective transmit matrix:

Processed signal at the destination is

Consider a downlink relay network.
