Abstract

We consider a problem of optimizing multi-cell downlink throughput in multiple-input single-output (MISO) beamforming with single user per sub-channel in the wireless communication system. Previous work based on the generalization of uplink-downlink duality has already reformulated the maximum achievable downlink throughput into dual uplink throughput maximization problem. Since the dual uplink problem is nonconvex, it is difficult to find its optimal solution. The main contribution of this paper is a novel practical algorithm based on heuristic to find the solution of beamforer design satisfying the necessary optimality conditions of the dual uplink problem. Meanwhile the converged beamforming vectors can in turn improve the system sum rate significantly. As the dual problem is a mixed optimization, we also provide algorithms for its two sub-optimal problems. Simulation results validate the convergence and the efficiency of proposed algorithms.
