comnum-mimo 0.3.0

//! Linear precoding: eigenmode transmission with water-filling, and the zero-forcing
//! precoders of the multi-user downlink.
//!
//! # Eigenmodes
//!
//! With the SVD $H = U \Sigma V^{H}$, sending $x = V P^{1/2} s$ and filtering with
//! $U^{H}$ turns the channel into parallel scalar channels of gains $\sigma_{i}$:
//! $\tilde y_{i} = \sigma_{i} \sqrt{p_{i}}\\, s_{i} + \tilde w_{i}$. Water-filling chooses
//! the powers that maximise $\sum_{i} \log_{2}(1 + p_{i} g_{i})$ under
//! $\sum_{i} p_{i} = P$, with $g_{i} = \sigma_{i}^{2} / \sigma^{2}$:
//!
//! $$
//! p_{i} = \left(\mu - \frac{1}{g_{i}}\right)^{+}
//! $$
//!
//! # Multi-user downlink
//!
//! The rows of $H$ are the channels of single-antenna users. Zero forcing
//! $W \propto H^{H} (H H^{H})^{-1}$ removes the interference between users; the
//! regularised version $W \propto H^{H} (H H^{H} + \alpha I)^{-1}$, with
//! $\alpha = K \sigma^{2} / P$ for $K$ users, maximises the signal-to-leakage ratio. Both
//! are scaled to the total power $\lVert W \rVert_{F}^{2} = P$.
//!
//! # Reconfigurable intelligent surface
//!
//! A RIS of $N$ elements reflects $\sum_{i} g_{i} e^{j\phi_{i}} h_{i}$ (`comnum_channel::ris`):
//! [`ris_co_phasing`] gives the phases $\phi_{i} = -\arg(h_{i} g_{i})$ that align every
//! product, which maximise the SNR to $(\sum_{i} |h_{i}| |g_{i}|)^{2} E_{s}/N_{0}$
//! (Basar et al. 2019, eqs. (11)–(13), as maximal-ratio combining).
//!
//! # Examples
//! ```
//! use comnum_mimo::precoding::water_filling_powers;
//! let p = water_filling_powers(&[4.0, 1.0, 0.1], 1.0)?;
//! assert!((p.iter().sum::<f64>() - 1.0).abs() < 1e-12);
//! assert_eq!(p[2], 0.0);                       // the weakest mode stays off
