<para> In this two-part paper, we address the problem of finding the optimal precoding/multiplexing scheme for a set of noncooperative links sharing the same physical resources, e.g., time and bandwidth. We consider two alternative optimization problems: P.1) the maximization of mutual information on each link, given constraints on the transmit power and spectral mask; and P.2) the maximization of the transmission rate on each link, using finite-order constellations, under the same constraints as in P.1, plus a constraint on the maximum average error probability on each link. Aiming at finding decentralized strategies, we adopted as optimality criterion the achievement of a Nash equilibrium and thus we formulated both problems P.1 and P.2 as strategic noncooperative (matrix-valued) games. In Part I of this two-part paper, after deriving the optimal structure of the linear transceivers for both games, we provided a unified set of sufficient conditions that guarantee the uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium. In this Part II of the paper, we focus on the achievement of the equilibrium and propose alternative distributed iterative algorithms that solve both games. Specifically, the new proposed algorithms are the following: 1) the <emphasis emphasistype="italic">sequential</emphasis> and <emphasis emphasistype="italic">simultaneous</emphasis> iterative waterfilling-based algorithms, incorporating spectral mask constraints and 2) the <emphasis emphasistype="italic">sequential</emphasis> and <emphasis emphasistype="italic">simultaneous</emphasis> gradient-projection-based algorithms, establishing an interesting link with variational inequality problems. Our main contribution is to provide sufficient conditions for the <emphasis emphasistype="italic">global</emphasis> convergence of all the proposed algorithms which, although derived under stronger constraints, incorporating for example spectral mask constraints, have a broader validity than the convergence conditions known in the current literature for the sequential iterative waterfilling algorithm. </para>
