Distributed joint power control and beamforming algorithms

Two distributed joint power control and beamforming algorithms, namely, the power feedback based algorithm and the broadcast based algorithm, are proposed. The power feedback based algorithm can dispense with the redundancy of power computation that occurs in the algorithm in Rashid et al. (1998) and Olfat et al. (2005) [1] and [2]. Also, the power feedback based algorithm and the broadcast based algorithm can both consume less overhead of feedback than the algorithm in Rashid et al. (1998) and Olfat et al. (2005) [1] and [2].
