Joint source and relay optimization for interference MIMO relay networks
This paper considers multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay communication in multi-cellular (interference)
systems in which MIMO source-destination pairs communicate simultaneously. It is assumed that due to severe
attenuation and/or shadowing effects, communication links can be established only with the aid of a relay node. The
aim is to minimize the maximal mean-square-error (MSE) among all the receiving nodes under constrained source
and relay transmit powers. Both one- and two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying mechanisms are considered.
Since the exactly optimal solution for this practically appealing problem is intractable, we first propose optimizing the
source, relay, and receiver matrices in an alternating fashion. Then we contrive a simplified semidefinite programming
(SDP) solution based on the error covariance matrix decomposition technique, avoiding the high complexity of the
iterative process. Numerical results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed schemes
