This thesis designs linear transceivers for the down link multiple user
multiple input multiple output single-cell and multiple-cell systems. The
transceivers are designed by assuming perfect and imperfect channel state
information at the BS and mobile stations (MS). Different signal to
interference plus noise ratio, mean square error and rate-based design criteria
are considered. These design criteria are formulated by considering total BS,
per BS antenna, per user, per symbol or a combination of per BS antenna and per
user (symbol) power constraints. To solve these problems generalized down link
up link and down link interference duality approaches are proposed.
We have also shown that the weighted sum rate maximization problem can be
equivalently formulated as weighted sum mean square error minimization problem
with additional optimization variables and constraints. We also develop
distributed transceiver design algorithms to solve weighted sum rate and mean
square error optimization problems for coordinated BS systems. The distributed
transceiver design algorithms employ modify matrix fractional minimization and
Lagrangian dual decomposition methods.Comment: PhD Thesi
