MIMO X Channel
Capacity characterization of various networks e.g. interference channel still an open problem Degree of freedom approach is often used as a good criterion for capacity characterization d = lim C() log() (1)

MIMO X Channel
MIMO X channel with two transmitters and two receivers Each source has a message to each receiver Received signals at the destinations y1 = H11 x1 + H12 x2 + n1 21 x1 + H22 x2 + n2 y2 = H Hij extending the MIMO channel H = It H Kronecker product xj = P1j s1j + P2j s2j Pij = Vij Zij Pij Precoding matrix Vij align the received interference on a common subspace Zij zero forces interference on the unintended receivers

An example- say m = 2,n = 4, p = 3, q = 3 then s = 2 { = 1, = 0, = 0, = 1} 0 0 1 0 0 0 C1 = 1 0 C2 = 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 Alignment If we right multiply matrix A by its rst singular vector [U1 ](1) and matrix B by its second singular vector [U2 ](2) , the outcoming vectors lie on the same subspace A[U1 ](1) = W 0 1 0 ,
