IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SIGNAL PROCESSING, VOL. 52, NO. 2, FEBRUARY 2004 461 Zero-Forcing Methods for Downlink Spatial Multiplexing in Multiuser MIMO Channels Quentin H. Spencer, Student Member, IEEE, A. Lee Swindlehurst, Senior Member, IEEE, and Martin Haardt, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract— The use of space-division multiple access (SDMA) station [1]–[7]. Research in this area has focused on two related in the downlink of a multiuser multiple-input, multiple-output optimization problems that are of particular interest: throughput (MIMO) wireless communications network can provide a substan- maximization (capacity) and power control. To achieve (sum) tial gain in system throughput. The challenge in such multiuser systems is designing transmit vectors while considering the capacity in a multiuser network, one maximizes the sum of co-channel interference of other users. Typical optimization the information rates for all users subject to a sum power con- problems of interest include the capacity problem—maximizing straint. On the other hand, the power control problem deals the sum information rate subject to a power constraint—or the with minimizing the total transmitted power while achieving a power control problem—minimizing transmitted power such that prespecified minimum Quality-of-Service (QoS) level for each a certain quality-of-service metric for each user is met. Neither of these problems possess closed-form solutions for the general mul- user in the network. In either case, a satisfactory solution must tiuser MIMO channel, but the imposition of certain constraints balance
