Zero-forcing precoding is a commonly-used multiple-user, multiple-input multiple-output beamforming technique. Applying such precoding, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) statistics with outdated channel state information, which involve various projections related to the multi-dimensional channel vectors and precoding vectors, have never been explicitly derived. In this paper, for the multiple-input single-output scenario with...
