Abstract

All points on the Pareto boundary can be obtained by solving the weighted sum rate maximization problem for some weighted coefficients. Unfortunately, the problem is non-convex and difficult to solve without performing an exhaustive search. In this paper, we propose an optimal distributed beamforming strategy for the two-user multiple-input single-output (MISO) interference channel (IC). Through minimizing the interference signal power leaked to the other receiver for fixed useful signal power received at the intended receiver, the original non-convex optimization problem can be converted into a family of convex optimization problems, each which can be solved in distributed manner with only local channel state information at each transmitter. After some conversion, we derive the closed-form solutions to all Pareto optimal points based on a game-theoretic viewpoint which indicates that linear combinations of the maximum-ratio transmit (MRT) and zero-forcing (ZF) beamforming strategies can achieve any point on the Pareto boundary of the rate region for the two-user MISO interference channel, and the only computation involved is to solve a basic quadratic equation. Finally, the result is validated via numerical simulations.
