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:
“The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigour of mathematical calculation.”
—Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
