It has been shown recently that the dirty-paper coding is the optimal strategy for maximizing the sum rate of multiple-input multiple-output Gaussian broadcast channels (MIMO BC). Moreover, by the channel duality, the nonconvex MIMO BC sum rate problem can be transformed to the convex dual MIMO multiple-access channel (MIMO MAC) problem with a sum power constraint. In this paper, we design an efficient algorithm based on conjugate gradient projection (CGP) to solve the MIMO BC maximum sum rate problem. Our proposed CGP algorithm solves the dual sum power MAC problem by utilizing the powerful concept of Hessian conjugacy. We also develop a rigorous algorithm to solve the projection problem. We show that CGP enjoys provable convergence, nice scalability, and great efficiency for large MIMO BC systems.

Recently, researchers showed that dirty paper coding (DPC) is the optimal transmission strategy for multiple-input multiple-output broadcast channels (MIMO-BC). In this paper, we study how to determine the maximum weighted sum of DPC rates through solving the maximum weighted sum rate problem of the dual MIMO multiple access channel (MIMO-MAC) with a sum power constraint. We first simplify the maximum weighted sum rate problem such that enumerating all possible decoding order...

This paper characterizes the capacity region of Gaussian MIMO broadcast channels (BCs) with per-antenna power constraint (PAPC). While the capacity region of MIMO BCs with a sum power constraint (SPC) was extensively studied, that under PAPC has received less attention. A reason is that efficient solutions for this problem are hard to find. The goal of this paper is to devise an efficient algorithm for determining the capacity region of Gaussian MIMO BCs subject to PAPC, whic...

In this paper, we study the sum rate maximization for successive zero-forcing dirty-paper coding (SZFDPC) with per-antenna power constraint (PAPC). Although SZFDPC is a low-complexity alternative to the optimal dirty paper coding (DPC), efficient algorithms to compute its sum rate are still open problems especially under practical PAPC. The existing solution to the considered problem is computationally inefficient due to employing high-complexity interior-point method. In thi...

Owing to the structure of the Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadcast channel (BC), associated optimization problems such as capacity region computation and beamforming optimization are typically non-convex, and cannot be solved directly. One feasible approach to these problems is to transform them into their dual multiple access channel (MAC) problems, which are easier to deal with due to their convexity properties. The conventional BC-MAC duality is establi...

MIMO interference network optimization is important for increasingly crowded wireless communication networks. We provide a new algorithm, named Dual Link algorithm, for the classic problem of weighted sum-rate maximization for MIMO multiaccess channels (MAC), broadcast channels (BC), and general MIMO interference channels with Gaussian input and a total power constraint. For MIMO MAC/BC, the algorithm finds optimal signals to achieve the capacity region boundary. For interfer...

This paper considers weighted sum rate maximization constrained with a per base station (BS) antenna power problem for multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. For this problem, we propose new downlink-uplink duality based solution. We solve the problem as follows. First, by introducing additional optimization variables, we reformulate our problem into an equivalent problem that incorporates a weighted sum mean-square-error (MSE) term. Second, we establish nov...

In this paper, we consider a cognitive radio (CR) network in which the unlicensed (secondary) users are allowed to concurrently access the spectrum allocated to the licensed (primary) users provided that their interference to the primary users (PUs) satisfies certain constraints. We study a weighted sum rate maximization problem for the secondary user (SU) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) broadcast channel (BC), in which the SUs have not only the sum power constraint but...

In this paper, the sum capacity of the Gaussian Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Cognitive Radio Channel (MCC) is expressed as a convex problem with finite number of linear constraints, allowing for polynomial time interior point techniques to find the solution. In addition, a specialized class of sum power iterative waterfilling algorithms is determined that exploits the inherent structure of the sum capacity problem. These algorithms not only determine the maximizing s...

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) represent a new technology that can shape the radio wave propagation and thus offers a great variety of possible performance and implementation gains. Motivated by this, we investigate the achievable sum-rate optimization in a broadcast channel (BC) in the presence of RISs. We solve this problem by exploiting the well-known duality between the Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) BC and the multiple-access channel (MAC), an...

This letter studies joint transmit beamforming and antenna selection at a secondary base station (BS) with multiple primary users (PUs) in an underlay cognitive radio multiple-input single-output broadcast channel. The objective is to maximize the sum rate subject to the secondary BS transmit power, minimum required rates for secondary users, and PUs' interference power constraints. The utility function of interest is nonconcave and the involved constraints are nonconvex, so ...
