Optimized Transceivers For Interference Alignment in MIMO Interference Channels
Optimized Transceivers For Interference Alignment in MIMO Interference Channels
I. I NTRODUCTION
The use of multiple antennas at both transmitters and
receivers can improve the channel capacity, reliable transmission and spectral efficiency. Multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) techniques have been deployed in the current and
future wireless networks [1]. In modern wireless systems, the
spectrum scarcity is of the major concerns and, thus, the
communication between multiple user pairs is likely to use
the same radio sources such as time, frequency and space.
Such models are known as interference channels. Interference
channels are appropriate models for cellular networks, wireless
ad-hoc networks, and cognitive radio [2], [3]. It is known
that interference is one of the critical factors that degrade the
system performance. Thus, interference mitigation techniques
are of great interest in wireless network design. Recently,
interference alignment (IA) has been developed to optimize
the degree of freedom (DoF) being an alternative measure
for the sum capacity of networks at high signal to noise
ratio (SNR) [4]. The key idea of interference alignment is
to confine the interference signals in a particular subspace
at each receiver while the desired signals can be transmitted
on interference-free subspace [5]. The optimal transceiver
designs in IA schemes are mathematically challenging and
under investigation, except for several special cases due to the
nonlinear and nonconvex constraints.
In interference channels, as there is no cooperation among
users, each user aims to maximize its own rate. As a result,
the achieved sum of data rates across all user pairs is not

The interference alignment is to find the precoding matrices
at the transmitters and the interference suppression matrices at
the receivers such that the interference is completely cancelled
at the high SNR region. For all , the perfect IA
requirements are mathematically posed as [3]
