 K-user frequency-flat MIMO interferenceK-userMIMO interference channel and degree of

Starting from the zero-forcing constraints, some conditions

to be satisfied in order to admit an interference alignment

(IA) solution for any

channel are derived. Our conditions allow for analytical

evaluation of the existence of IA solutions (or lack thereof)

for a given

freedom allocation. We discuss interference alignment duality

and the optimality of linear minimum mean squared error

(LMMSE) interference reduction at the receiver for user rate

maximization. Motivated by this, we suggest an algorithm

for distributed interference alignment in a time division duplex

(TDD) setting.
