We consider new optimization problems for transceivers with DFE receivers and linear precoders, which also use bit loading at the transmitter. First, we consider the MIMO QoS (quality of service) problem, which is to minimize the total transmitted power when the bit rate and probability of error of each data stream are specified. The developments of this paper are based on the generalized triangular decomposition (GTD) recently introduced by Jiang, Li, and Hager. It is shown that under some multiplicative majorization conditions there exists a custom GTD-based transceiver which achieves the minimal power. The problem of maximizing the bit rate subject to the total power constraint and given error probability is also considered in this paper. It is shown that the GTD-based systems also give the optimal solutions to the bit rate maximization problem.1
