This thesis treats the downlink transmission in multi-antenna (MIMO) wireless interference channels, and characterizes the spectral efficiency of different linear precoding methods for such channels. These methods include interference alignment, maximum ratio transmission, and eigenmode precoding. The performance characterization of the latter two methods is especially important in massive MIMO scenarios, where these simple techniques exhibit a good performance. The analysis is mainly performed using random matrix theory and large system analysis, and includes the signaling overheads related to channel estimation which differ from one method to another.
