Abstract
In the MIMO broadcast channel, a centralized transmitter serves \(K\) decentralized users who cannot cooperate and therefore have to process and decode their received signals on their own. Each of the \(K\) users asks for data that is specific to him thus constituting a type of information theoretic broadcast channel. This is in contrast to the conventional radio, TV, or satellite broadcast where common data is sent to all receivers.
