Consequently, the behavior and performance of this algorithm can be expected to be very different Finally, the ultimate goal is to adapt the precoder tothe changes in the channel To achieve this, the diagonal ... remains due to a mismatch between the precoder and the actual channel and are thus generally of low amplitude We will refer to channel coefficients to denote the crosstalk coefficients of the channel (matrix...
