Abstract

This invited paper outlines some recent results on the maxmin SIR balancing problem in wireless networks in which power control and beamforming are the only mechanisms for resource allocation and interference management. In addition, we describe several potential extensions and improvements to existing algorithmic solutions, as well as prove the convergence of a distributed algorithm for joint power control and receive beamforming to a global optimum of the max-min SIR balancing problem. Finally we briefly discuss a possibility of how to incorporate the optimization of transmit beamformers.
