Due to the asymmetry between the amount of data traffic in the downlink and
uplink direction of nowadays and future wireless networks, a proper design of the
transceivers in the broadcast channel is inevitable in order to satisfy the users’
demands on data rate and transmission quality. This book deals with the optimi-
zation-based joint design of the transmit and receive filters in a MIMO broadcast
channel in which the user terminals may be equipped with several antenna ele-
ments.
