Mathematical Description
In a multiple antenna downlink system which comprises a transmit antenna access point (AP) and single receive antenna users, the received signal of user is described as
where is the vector of transmitted symbols, is the noise signal, is the channel vector and is the linear precoding vector. From the fact that each beam generated by ZF-precoding is orthogonal to all the other user channel vectors, one can rewrite the received signal as
For comparison purpose, we describe the received signal model for multiple antenna uplink systems. In the uplink system with a receiver antenna AP and K single transmit antenna user, the received signal at the AP is described as
where is the transmitted signal of user, is the noise vector, is the channel vector.

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or description:
“As we speak of poetical beauty, so ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. But we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
